When using office 2003, I want to merge my data from Excel to Word
(labels,
letters, etc.) and the formatting for the zip code and telephone # is
lost.
Example - in Excel the zip code is 06051 but when merged it is 6051, and
the
phone # in Excel is (###) ###-#### and when merged is ##########.
how can this be resolved???
