how do I get phone numbers to format correctly in a mail merge?
Typically you have to use a "numeric format switch", e.g. if your field in
Word looks like
{ MERGEFIELD "phone number" \*mergeformat }
(Use Alt-F9 to look)
try changing it to
{ MERGEFIELD "phone number" \#"(000) 000'-'0000" }

The phone numbers in my data source are formatted like (555) 123-4576 but
when I merge into word the numbers come over like 5551234576. How can I
get
them to merge correctly?
