Formatting using Excel datasource for mail merge

[Shawna]

I know how to insert a “non-breaking space†into a word/phrase in WORDTM to
keep it from breaking (^s). However, if I’m doing an EXCELTM spreadsheet that
is a merge list, how do I designate that I want a date that is being inserted
not to break?

For example:

January 28th
In my letter, because of the merge field «CAMPUS_DATE», the date is breaking
so that January is on one line and the 28th follows on the next line. I would
like it to wrap and take the January 28th as one item.

Anyone know?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Add a formatting switch to the mergefield with a non breaking space between
the month and the day

\@ "MMMM d"
