Defining fields in Word 2003

[DannyJ]

Hi folks,

I have a question. I create a data source (database or Excel spreadsheet)
with 2 fields, name and salary. I define the salary field as currency so
that I can filter in the mail merge for people above or below a particular
salary band. So far so good....but all the formatting disappears when I put
the fields into a mail merge. (eg currency symbols and I suspect commas as
in £24,000).

Any solutions?

Many thanks,

Danny

Word is now expected to provide the formatting. You need a formatting
switch - http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
