Hi Doug,

Mostly I think you'll find they're just called braces.

Cheers

Thanks, Dawn.

I have been looking for a name to call { } and Googling for French
Brace does turn a few (only a few mind you) hits that support the
use of that term.

Insert it after the second quote mark in your field, and before the
closing French brace.

I am merging data from an Excel worksheet into a Word document.
Although the
time data in Excel is formatted as h:mm AM/PM, the same time
presented in the
merged document appears as h:mm:ss AM/PM.

I think I need to use a switch in the merged field to reformat it
to the preferred h:mm AM/PM.

On the merge document, the field looks like this (after alt-f9)
.... {MERGEFIELD "Start_Time"}.

I do not know how or where to insert the switch (\@ "h:mm AM/PM)??

Thanks in advance for your help. A simple problem, but one I am
struggling
with.
