Hello,

I am using Office 2000. I have created a merge document in Word that uses an
Excel sheet as its data source.

The Excel data source contains about 30 columns, one column is a list of
products, some of which include entries that contain double inverted commas
(eg. My 48" Product). When I insert this merge field and perform the merge,
records with no double inverted commas are fine, but records that include
double inverted commas are not being included in the final merged document at
all. In other words, I am only getting 359 of 389 records. If I remove the
double inverted commas from one of the records in the Excel sheet and run the
merge again, this extra record appears!

I would be very grateful if anybody could shed any light on this problem as
while trying to solve this I have tried a couple of simple examples where the
data source records include double inverted commas and I am getting some
unusual results in all cases.
