Default Remove the leading zero from mergefield .

Put the mergefield in a formula that mulitplies it by 1

{ = { MERGEFIELD fieldname } * 1 }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { }

Hi NG.

I have a mailmerge field where the field from a txt-file display 20
digits: '09812340078901230067'
I want only displayed 19 digits '9812340078901230067' because zero may not
be displayed.
It is not posssible to remove the leading zero in the txt-file.
