Ok, then in the Word table, click in that cell and go to the table menu and
choose to Split cells...split the data into separate cells before you
copy/paste it into Word.  Does that work?

I DO mean cell in Word, sorry for mixing my terminology here...Word, Excel,
Access...I'm SOOOO confooosed!

Merge cells is not active and the odd thing is that the field in question
appears on a second row with all the other cells in that row empty.  The
following row begins the new record. Weird.

I usually don't have a problem getting the data but sometimes multiple
option fields such as this are difficult and I've never seen this particular
problem before.  

I've downloaded & converted about 20 times today...always the same data set
just to be sure nothing else is going on.  Without the multiple field, the
data converts beautifully.  If I add this field it's messed up.  

FYI, the data in question is a list of missing items so one record may have
2 missing items, the next only 1, the next 3, the next 7, the next 0 and so
on.  I don't particularly care if the list is separated by commas or if it
just reads as one long string for that matter, but I hate a problem like
this and can't let it go.

Any other ideas you may have would be most welcome.
