I am trying to MailMerge a field from an Excel document. The field
is for Phone Numbers and has been formatted to display them with the
area code and middle dash in the number (123) 456-7890
When I merge that field in it displays as: 1234567890
How do I keep the formatting or how do I change the field once it is
in Word?
