Mail Merge Documents

[Robin]

I am working on a mail merge document using office and excel (mac). I
can get the information merged, but the spacing is not correct.

It looks like
Mr. John Doe

rather than
Mr. John Doe

Any ideas on how to correct the field spacing issue?

Thanks
Robin

I believe you need to ask this in a MAC group. Mail merge is much more
limited on the Mac, from what I've been told, so you need to talk to
folks who know what is and is not possible on the mac. FWIW, if this
were WinWord, I'd say someone had typed spaces into the Excel cells. If
this is the case, you will need to remove these extra spaces in Excel
before running the merge. There is no way to suppress them at the Word
end.
