the DDE connection method, which will bring across the data as you have it
in Excel.

The alternative is to format the data as numbers in Excel and add a
formatting switch to layout the numbers

I have an extensive list of address information in an Excel database.
Included are international phone numbers. When I do a mailmerge into
a Word document, all the international phone numbers show up only as
a zero. I can't find a way to change this. Thank you.
