Default leading spaces in merge fields

Hi ?B?TENhbGF3YXk=?=,

I have created a "script" in Word which is filled in by using Access and
merge. The script works wonderfully EXCEPT if there is a leading space in
one of the fields. The merge eliminates the leading space. What would be
the suggestion to retain the leading space that is definitely IN the database
field in Access.

I'm linking this response to the more specialized word.mailmerge.fields
newsgroup. Please provide the version of Office involved and include the script
(so that we can see which connection method is being used).
