Special Formatting is lost

[grafiti4u]

When I do a mail merge in Word, importing a data file from Excel, the special
formating (zip + 4) doesn't work. I have to go in and retype the dashes in
the zip code. Am I importing wrong? Thanks! I am using Office 2003 Home
Edition.

Perfect! I am a bit new to Office and Word, so this site will help me
tremendously. One little selection in the tools fixed it - thanks!!
