Create formula using a merge field
I would like to create this formula in a Word document -
=Left(Trim({MERGEFIELD name}), 3) 'name' is the name of a merge field. How do I accomplish this or is it possible? Thanks much.

Create formula using a merge field
Hi Seth,
No can do with a field - Word fields don't support 'LEFT' or 'TRIM' functions. You'll need to modify the source data, or use a macro in conjunction with the mailmerge.
