Hi, I've looked through some of the discussions regarding importing numbers from excel into word mail merge. I'm having a problem. In Excel I have a column that includes numbers with more than 15 digits. In Excel, I have made this column a text format, so
now in Excel those long numbers show up correctly. However, when doing a mail merge in Word, again the numbers past 14 digits change to zeros. I've read many help articles about this but am still not finding a solution. I even tried going the DDE route and
that didn't do it either. I checked out this answer: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f57/mail-merge-data-corruption-429351.html which was the most helpful, but again, DDE seemed to work for this person but not for me. I hope someone can offer a solution.
I was hoping that I could do a picture switch, but that does not seem to be an option for this particular problem. I don't know why importing it in DDE format did not solve the problem. Thanks for any help!
