Default Word 2003 Mail Merge is generating zero values.

It is the fourth item in tools options general?

So sorry I couldn't reply, I had an emergency family situation and
had to take time off work unexpectedly. The data is phone numbers
and general text field describing an alternatvie rental car company.

ANd I checked the general tab in the tools menu and I didn't see that
particular tab, can I do this in word 2003?

What data is in the fields?

From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and go to the General
tab and check the box against the "Confifm conversions at open"
item. Then when you attach the data source to the mail merge main
document, try using the DDE option that you can select in the dialog
that will appear.

Ugh, in order to stream line a tedious process I am trying to merge
data from excel into word. All fields are entered in the data
source (excel) and when they merge 2 of my imputed fields are
coming up ZERO? Why? They are entered. This small problem is making
what would otherwise save us from a huge time suck... HELP HELP
