How to keep leading spaces?
I've gone to a lot of trouble formatting a series of strings that look like
xx/xx/xx where xx is a number (these aren't dates) and adding spaces so that the length of the string is always 8 characters, then using a fixed width font with mail merge so that all the columns lineup however, when I insert the fields, it seems Word is ignoring any leading spaces even if I specifically set the Excel data as text (and also with a preceding ' character it still doesn't work) how can I tell Word that when an Excel field is [space]7/11/29, I want it printing with the space and not just as 7/11/29 many thanks if anyone knows cheers, lee |
