I am creating an information catalog in mailmerge using data from an Excel
file. The numbers are formatted w/ commas, % signs, etc. in Excel, but come
into Word w/o this formatting. I need the commas, % signs, etc., though. Is
there a way to preserve the formatting in Excel or apply formatting in the
mailmerge process? Thx, J
