I have an Excel file that I've merged with Word using the Mail Merge Wizard.

This doesn't happen all the time but there are some instances where I have an inventory number coming from the Excel but the item being displayed in the Word Document is "0" - not the number in the Excel cell.

I've retyped the problem inventory numbers again in Excel (thinking there might be some foreign agent in the cell), saved/closed the Excel file and re-opened the Word Document.

Is this a common bug or is these something that I can do to fix it. I'm new to Word - though I've had classes on it, so I'm totally clueless as to how Mail Merge words, how to refresh the data, etc.

Is there a way to fix this problem

Thank you for your help,

Oh, I'm using a text box inside of table so the values appear at the bottom of the cell. Does using a text box create this issue?
