Extra Characters in Email Merge

[Sue]

I have the following problem, I hope someone can help me solve it

I have a mail merge document in word, using data from an excel spreadsheet
When I merge to email I get an extra numerical character at the bottom of the email. This doesn't happen if I merge to a new document or printer
There are no extra fields in the source document and no fields in the data spreadsheet that could be inserted
Does anyone have any suggestions

Hi =?Utf-8?B?U3Vl?=,

I have the following problem, I hope someone can help me solve it!

I have a mail merge document in word, using data from an excel spreadsheet.
When I merge to email I get an extra numerical character at the bottom of the email. This doesn't happen if I merge to a new document or printer.
There are no extra fields in the source document and no fields in the data spreadsheet that could be inserted.

Which version of Office are we discussing? To what program are the emails being sent? Is there any merge field near the number?
