Square character symbol in address lines after mailmerge
I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.
I can mail merge my Outlook contact folder with a Word document using Mailmerge. I create a new Word document using the Address block. When a contact has two address lines, they are concatenated after the merge into one line separated by a square symbol. How can I remove (or avoid) this square symbol? I have tried to match the fields manually and I get the same result. Find and replace does not seem recognize this character. Also, the suffix information is lost during the mailmerg. Thanks for your help. |

Square character symbol in address lines after mailmerge
You will find it much simpler to get the results you want if you abandon the
use of the AddressBlock field and use the individual fields that make up the data file - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm You should find http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm useful also. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Douglas Adams wrote: I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.
