What is the original file from which you are merging the data? Why not
get your data from there rather than copying it from the resultant
merged Word document?

Subject: [mso] Word to Excel
I have a word merge with fields separated by commas that when I merge to
a new document it puts a continuous section break into the new document.
I copy and paste this data into Excel. The section break causes two sets
of data to appear in one row. Is there any way to keep the section break
from happening in the first place? Or maybe there's a better way to get
my data into Excel?
sample of what's going wrong:
Here's the comma separated values in Word. Pretending there are a bunch
of these on a page with the section break
Wells, Glenda, Tennis
Wells, Tiffany, Polo=====section break
Wells, Joy, Rowing
Here's what it becomes in Excel with the pipe character representing
individual cells
Wells||Glenda||Tennis
Wells||Tiffany||PoloWells||Joy||Rowing
