Hi Shaun
Thanks for getting in touch.
What you're proposing should work. The formula results should be dropped into your document as expected.
What is the formula that's causing the issue?
Kind regards

RE: Excel Mail Merge into Word..
Thanks for the quick response Gary. Should work but it isn't!
The formula of the cells are simply =Design!AR2 etc...
This just pulls through a result of 0 in word. Despite being able to see the text in excel. There is quite a bit of text in these cells as it contains a build schedule?
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Many thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun
Thanks for your reply. I wasn't able to replicate your issue, but after a little research I read about a potential flaw with this process.
Is the workbook open? Try having the Excel workbook open as you complete the Mail Merge. Apparently this keeps the data more 'current' than allowing Word to attempt to resolve the formula.
If this doesn't work, what is the data type you are trying to merge (e.g. text, dates, currency... etc)?
Kind regards

Thanks Problem now sorted. The way to make it work was to open excel first before opening the word document and linking. It was the current data issue.
Help greatly appreciated.
