Default putting tabs in a mail merge field?

Hi

i standard letter with merge codes
{address}

Dear sir

These companies are in breach..
{mydata}

I want to all the following data into {mydata}
2005 tab Company 1
2006 tab company 2

I am merging from excel how do i get the tabs into word as they seem to be
turning to spaces? I do have them in the excel using char(9) in the source
data ..I do not want to use a list/catalog/directory merge just a standard
letter.
