Hi
I have a column in a worksheet which has both currency & text
which I use as the data source to make labels in Word
The currency appears fine on the labels,
however, the text come out as 0 & I have to manually correct each one.
Can anyone tell me how to format this column please
Martin

Format it as "text", and it will accept whatever you enter without trying to
"help" you by adjusting the appearance. One caveat, though: In the past,
when I've formatted existing data as text, it hasn't worked. But, it does
work on new data entered in empty cells. So, you may have to do some repair
work the first time. For me, this has been a random occurrence - it doesn't
always happen.

Thanks for your reply Joe
I'll give that a try
