    Losing commas in mail merge

    I am mail merging data from Excel onto Word. When the information shows up on Word I have no commas. For example, the cell in Excel reads 35,500 and shows up in Word as 35500. Does anyone know what I need to do?

    re: Losing commas in mail merge

    the date in Excel doesn't actually have commas, it's a formatting comma added by the number format chosen in the cell. I don't do mail merge, so I haven't looked it up, but look in your Word document for ways to format the incoming data to put the comma back in.
