Defining fields in Word 2003
Hi folks,
I have a question. I create a data source (database or Excel spreadsheet) with 2 fields, name and salary. I define the salary field as currency so that I can filter in the mail merge for people above or below a particular salary band. So far so good....but all the formatting disappears when I put the fields into a mail merge. (eg currency symbols and I suspect commas as in £24,000). Any solutions? Many thanks, Danny |

Word is now expected to provide the formatting. You need a formatting
