Default merging blank cells from excel to word i want them to stay blank n

I am creating a membership roster which denotes education attainment by
abbreviations. Where the course has not been taken, I want to show a blank.
When I mail merge from Excel XP to Word XP, some blank fields remain blank,
some come over as 0.

The simplest short term fix for this is usually to change the way Word
connects to Excel - check Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm conversions at
open", reconnect to the data source, and select the DDE option when it is
offered.
