Hi ?B?TWFya04=?=,

I am using Find (double inverted commas) and Replace (with two apostrophes)
in my Excel sheet to solve the problem.

I'm not convinced this is going to help, if it's the problem I suspect (mixed
text and numerical content in the same column).

Do you know if there are any other characters that Word does not "like" in a
mail merge?

(single/odd number of) apostrophes
The character you get when you press Alt+Enter
