Mail Merge "Go to Record" shows only 2 digits
Hi,
I made two documents, one is ecel with list of digits, and another word file where i made mail merge and selected excel file as data source. When i open excel file in word, it shows for example value 700 in the word document, but in the "Go To Record" in mail merge toolbar is shows 70, no 700. Checked regional settings, started excel and word in the save mode and with /a- no effect. Using Windows Xp Professional (all updates installed) and Microsoft Ofice 2003 sp3. Need yours help. Thank you. Peter |

I noticed this same issue after I applied SP3 to my Office 2003 software.
With SP2 this did not occur. - Peter Sale USA "Lion2004" wrote: Hi, I made two documents, one is ecel with list of digits, and another word file where i made mail merge and selected excel file as data source.

You can make the box bigger. Just open Tools | Customize and drag one side
of the box. -- Suzanne S.

On the one hand that is a neat trick. Many thanks. On the other hand, even
prior to widening the "Go To Record" box via the technique you revealed there was plenty of space to display, say 1000 records. I know have space to display 10,000 records but record "124" is still displayed as "12", with the "4" truncated. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can make the box bigger.

Mail Merge "Go to Record" shows only 2 digits
FWIW this error has been reported to Microsoft (I had some sort of
confirmation back from the support people the other day). No idea when it might be fixed, though. Peter Jamieson "Peter" wrote in message ... On the one hand that is a neat trick. Many thanks.

I agree this is a bug--just as annoying (though harder to explain) as the
one by which centered or right-aligned captions disappear in the Insert | Reference | Caption dialog. -- Suzanne S.
