Hello,

There is a mail merge data set in Ms. Word, where each row of a column
(labeled as "Task Number") has been filled automatically by the Bulleting
option. This was done so that each cell in a particular column gets numbered
automatically in a serial order. However, when that data is linked to a
document for mail merge, the recipient list shows the Task_Number column as
blank. Is there a fix?

Thanks!

Run a macro on the source document that contains the command:

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText

Hope this helps.
