Default mail merge all text in col 1

I am having problems ever since the SP3 update for word XP. When doing mail
merge letters, after print is pressed all the text from the line appears in
the first space of the line creating some "interesting" looking prints. Any
ideas how to fix this?

Some additional information that may help - the connection between
datasource and word doc is DDE not OLE as the OLE version converted English
dates to American.

Hi ?B?QWxsIHRleHQgYXBwZWFycyBpbiBmaXJzdCBzcGFjZSBvZi BsaW5l?=,

I am having problems ever since the SP3 update for word XP. When doing mail
merge letters, after print is pressed all the text from the line appears in
the first space of the line creating some "interesting" looking prints. Any
ideas how to fix this?

I'm inclined to think the problem is with the printer driver. Have you tried
downloading and installing the newest driver from the manufacturer's website?

If you're currently merging directly to the printer, you might also try first
merging to a new document, then printing that.

Some additional information that may help - the connection between
datasource and word doc is DDE not OLE as the OLE version converted English
dates to American.
