Hi,

Word's fields don't support this kind of data manipulation. Your best option
might be to edit the Excel data, by replacing the commas and their trailing
spaces with line feeds. In excel you'd do this via Find/Replace where the
'find' string is a commas and trailing space, and the 'replace string is
ASCII 10 - which you can enter as Alt-010.

Cheers

When making labels for posting letters, I have a data field in my excel
table
which has the address data in the following format:

" Mr A B Bloggs, 12 Nowhere Raod, Somewhere, Shireshire, SN12 4UP. "

How can I point word mail merge at this data field and get it to insert a
line break where it sees a comma? so that there format becomes:

Mr A B Bloggs
12 Nowhere Road
Somewhere
Shireshire
SN12 4UP

Any suggestions/solutions greatly appreciated.
