Hi ?B?SlQ=?=,

I am doing what I think is a simple merge of data from an Excel sheet into
mailing labels in Word. However my "address" column in Excel (which contains
address data) merges into the Word labels with only a "0" where the address
should be.

It always helps to tell us which version of Word (or Office) is involved?

In this case, please also copy the contents of a couple of these cells into your
reply so we can see what kind of data it contains.

Best guess: the majority of the first eight or so records have numeric content,
only, in this column. So Excel is marking it as numeric and passing a 0 for all
records that contain text.
