Default Using custom Label word merge - data dropped

Format the data as text rather than general
or
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. (In Word
2007 it is Office Button Word Options Advanced General Confirm file
format conversion on open). Then when you attach the data source to the mail
merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method of
connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table.

Have an 8 pg custom Label word merge doc w/excel file as data source.
First
page prints all data perfectly of 4 short lines. 2nd page & rest of doc.
places a zero in a field that should have (example) 354k4. Field is
formatted
as General. Don't know why the number/letter combo isn't appearing,
instead
shows as a zero.
