How do I change Mail merge formatting?
This is a repeat of an earlier question, but for some reason, it wouldn't let
me reply to the previous question to clarify my question and now I can't find it at all, so I'm re-asking the question...hopefully more clearly. I was making some sales labels in Word with an Excel spreadsheet as my datasource. I put today's date (6-1-06) on the label (not as a merge field) and when I added merge fields and told it to "update all labels" under "replicate labels", it changed my date to a numbering sequence. (6-1-07, 6-1-08, 6-1-09, etc.) I want today's date to stay the same on all of the labels. How do I fix this? |

As Doug asked in the reply to your earlier question, how did you insert this
date? There is no mechanism that I know of in Word (up to version 2003) that will turn a number entered as text (or a date field for that matter) into a variable numbering sequence. Excel can do this however? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org T Perry wrote: This is a repeat of an earlier question, but for some reason, it wouldn't let me reply to the previous question to clarify my question and now I can't find it at all, so I'm re-asking the question...hopefully more clearly.
