Why do merged letters increment numbered items from form doc?

[computergranny]

Merged letters seem to increment numbered items from the form doc. For
example, the form document has three numbered items and the first merged
letter would be 4,5,6 and the subsequent merged letter would be 7,8,9. What
do I need to do to prevent this?

Sometimes the easiest way around this when using mailmerge is to replace the
numbers with ordinary text. There is a VBA command ConvertNumbersToText
that can be used for that purpose.
