    word to excel mail merge help please....

    Here is the question/problem explained:

    I have created a Mail Merge document in Word. The information that is being
    merged into the document is coming from an Excel file. All of the mail
    merge fields have been set up in the main document (and are labeled the
    same.) I have a portion of the document set up in a "bullet" list like
    below:
    1. a
    2. b
    3. c
    4. d
    5. e
    6. f
    7. g

    When I merge the info into the document it shows up like this:
    1. a
    2. b c
    3. d e
    4. f g

    Do you know what I can do to fix this problem?

    You would have to give some more information about the mailmerge main
    document. Are the a, b, c, etc mergefields?

    Yes the a, b, c etc are merge fields and have information in them to merge
    into the main document. What type of info on the main document do you need?

    Thanks

    It looks like you need to insert an extra carriage-return line-feed
    character between b and c, d and e and f and g in your Word document.

    Alternately, consider disabling Word's automatic numbering system in
    your main document.
