Does the Excel sheet have a heading in the numbered column? Have you connected the document to the Excel data source? See: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...f-932c49474705



FWIW, you can do this without a mailmerge. See: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13070 and the implementation in: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13162

Hi Paul (macropod)

Thanks so much for the prompt reply. I knew it had to be something simple. Yes, your first guess was correct done everything except, connect the document up to the data source.

All is working fine, I did look at the non-merge examples looked complicated for the simple task I needed.

Thanks

Again.
