Formatting data in word label merging, commas into line breaks
You cannot do it as part of the mailmerge process.
You should use Edit Replace on the data source to replace all of the
commas with ^p (paragraph returns)

When making labels for posting letters, I have a data field in my excel
table
which has the address data in the following format:
" Mr A B Bloggs, 12 Nowhere Raod, Somewhere, Shireshire, SN12 4UP. "
How can I point word mail merge at this data field and get it to insert a
line break where it sees a comma? so that there format becomes:
Mr A B Bloggs
12 Nowhere Road
Somewhere
Shireshire
SN12 4UP
Any suggestions/solutions greatly appreciated.
