How do I format telephone numbers in Word?
I have an MS Word document that I'm trying to mailmerge. The datasource is an
Excel spreadsheet and contains telephone numbers. The telephone number field is a number field with telephone display format (I did this to facilitate easy data entry). When I mailmerge my Word document (the fields get inserted into a table), the telephone numbers appear without formatting. How can I tell Word to format the number as telephone? I'm using Word 2002-SP2. |
