I am trying to do a mail merge of a telephone number in excel and bring it
to
a mail merger word document. The problem is the special formatting
function
in excell called phone adds the parenthesis and hypens for phone numbers
in
excel but when I try to bring the number into work it only brings in the
10
numbers and not the parenthesis and hypen. How can bring the parenthesis
and
hyphen into the work mail merge without having to re-type all the
telephone
numbers in excel witht he parenthesis and hypen?
