What is the field switch to display a SSN properly?
I have social security number data for five tenants.
I want to write a form letter that includes their SSN in the proper formating: 123-45-6789 What is the field switch to make this happen? |

For a formfield, use ###-##-#### in the Format field of the formfield dialog box For Regular fields (Created with CTRL-F9 or Insert Fields...), use: \# "#########" where the dashes have to be En-dashes ("CTRL-Minus sign" on the numerical key pad). |

Hi Jean-Guy,
I'd be inclined to format the field with 000-00-0000 just to be sure that any leading 0s don't get dropped.
