Hello,

I am trying to get some merge fields to add together (they do have
underlying numeric values) in a standard letter. I am using Word 97 so I
should like to edit the field codes directly.

Say I have a field "Amount1" and "Amount2", I am just trying to add one to
the other, and then apply a numeric format switch to the result.

I'd be very grateful for any assistance that people can give.

Regards,

Lambs
