Fix bug in Word 2003 Mail Merge

A

Adrien Talbot

When doing a mail merge in Word 2003 a bug exists. When editing the list of
Recipients you can search for specific items in the columns. It works fine if
you are searching for a number but if you search for text is gives an error
about not being able to format the string for SQL. If you put single quotes
(') around your text it works fine. I was using an Excel workbook as a
datasource using DDE. The column I was searching on was a mix of numbers and
text.
