Something has changed in this area for Word 2003 (and possibly also
XP).
Then you use the mail merge object with the new property .mailformat
when merging to email - if you use .MailFormat = wdMailFormatPlainText
the conversion to plain text creates a text document without line
breaks. All previous versions created text with line breaks, and hence
in my application, a series of ?? appear at the bottom of the merged
email. This only happens if I merge programatically, but if I merge to
email with the merge toolbar, no ?? appear.
I've also found that if I save the merged document from Word
programatically to text format (FileFormat:=wdFormatText) again the ??
appear unless I add InsertLineBreaks:=True - this extra parameter
wasn't required on previous Word versions.
Any ideas how I can prevent the ?? in the merge emails and basically
force the text conversion required by the mailformat command to use
line breaks?
