Excel Data Missing in Word's Mail Merge handler

[Brian Siano]

I have a spreadsheet with a region used for a mail merge. One column contains
text strings. But, when I use Word to set up a merge form, and select the
sheet's data for merging, this one column is treated as though it were blank.
Instead of the spreadsheet's text strings, I get "0."

This happens in the Merge dialogue box, where I can sort and filter the data.

The column draws from other cells, is formatted as text in Excel, and is the
only column giving me this problem.

Brian ... I'm having the same problem!! I'm new to newsgroups, and haven't
found the replies ... is there any chance you could send me the information
if you find it???
