Maintain excel formats in a word mailmerge ciccio 10/29/2008 4:39:03 PM Hello all, I am trying to finish a mailmerge from an excel database, but for some reason the formats are not staying with the information when it comes through the mailmerge. I was told it had to do with the DDE in the advanced options of excel, but it didn't seem to work. Could anyone enlighten me?
