I have data in Excel that I need to pull using MS Word for a mail merge where I only want to merge records containing telephone numbers. I don't have access to or control of the worksheet containing the data except to extract information for the merges. The field I'm drawing from is called Communication. The same field may contain either a phone number or an email address. If the field contains a phone number I want it in my Word mail-merge. I was trying to write some kind of statement that would recognize the @ symbol in email addresses and not pull that record if it existed but didn't have any luck. Any advice or information appreciated. /g ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
