MERGING
Hello,
I am trying to format a merge field in Word 2003. I have the telephone field placed but once the merge occurs from Access the number shows like this 3019251788. How can I get it to display like this (301) 925-1788 or 301-925-1788?? HELP Thanks Ransom |

You need a switch on the merge field. Toggle the display with ALT+F9 and
change the {Mergefield PhoneNoField} to {Mergefield PhoneNoField \# "(000) 000'-'0000"} or {Mergefield PhoneNoField \# "000'-'000'-'0000"} depending on which layout you prefer Then F9 to update and ALT+F9 to toggle again -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ransom wrote: Hello, I am trying to format a merge field in Word 2003.
