Hi Steven,

You can add a numeric picture switch to your SSN mergefield. To do this:
1. Select the SSN mergefield and press Shift-F9. It should look something like {MERGEFIELD SSN}, where 'SSN' is the field name.
2. Delete anything after the field name.
3. After the field name, add the switch ' \# "000'-'00'-'0000"', so that you end up with {MERGEFIELD SSN \# "000'-'00'-'0000"}.
4. Press F9 to update the field.
Your mailmerge is now ready for use.
