Formatting numbers in merge

[Shawndra]

I am trying to merge social security numbers into a Word
2002 document from an Excel spreadsheet. I can't get them
to look like social security numbers. Any ideas?

Shawndra,

You might need to use a numeric picture switch in your
MERGEFIELD e.g.,

{ MERGEFIELD YourMergeFieldName \# ###'-'##'-'#### }
