I am working on a mail merge which contains 9 cells of different data. I
inserted the format for the cells using the Alt F9 command. 8 of the 9 cells
respond with the appropriate format. The 9th cell does nothing at all. I
have rechecked the excel column title, and the format criteria, and it still
will not format. Any ideas why it is failing? this is really a hot item --
of course

Which version of Word/Excel?

How are you connecting to Excel (if you are aware of making a choice, it's
DDE for Word 2000 and earlier and OLEDB for Word 2002 and later, and
something else for Mac Word)

What is in the column you are having difficulty with?

What format are you trying to apply?
