Mailmerge with Access - character change
We produce a monthly report in Word, using data from an Access dbase, usually
with no problems. Since last month we have changed Pounds to Euros in the dbase, but Word continues to insert £ instead of ‚¬. We can find no trace of £ anywhere in the dbase or in the Word macros we use for formatting Any idea what's happening and how to stop it? -- Linda M |

Hi ?B?TGluZGFN?=,
We produce a monthly report in Word, using data from an Access dbase, usually with no problems. Since last month we have changed Pounds to Euros in the dbase, but Word continues to insert £ instead of ‚¬. We can find no trace of £ anywhere in the dbase or in the Word macros we use for formatting Any idea what's happening and how to stop it? You should really post this in the word.mailmerge.fields newsgroup, where your more likely to encounter people who deal with this (and a much lower volume of messages, so it's more likely to be seen). WHen you repost there, be sure to mention the VERSION of Word and of Access you use. My best guess would be that the connection method you're using to pass the data from Access to Word doesn't recognize Unicode symbols in this range. The other possibility, if you're still seeing £, is that there are number formats in the merge fields. Press Alt+F9 in the main merge document and check if there aren't £ symbols in the field codes that are normally hidden.
