Re: Square character symbol in address lines after mailmerge

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You will find it much simpler to get the results you want if you abandon the
use of the AddressBlock field and use the individual fields that make up the
data file - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm
You should find http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm useful
also.

I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.

I can mail merge my Outlook contact folder with a Word document using
Mailmerge. I create a new Word document using the <<Address>> block.
When a contact has two address lines, they are concatenated after the
merge into one line separated by a square symbol.

How can I remove (or avoid) this square symbol?

I have tried to match the fields manually and I get the same result.

Find and replace does not seem recognize this character.

Also, the suffix information is lost during the mailmerg.

Thanks for your help.
