I have fields in my excel document that include double spacing, etc. When I
export to Word, I loose that formatting. Can I fix this? (I asked this in
the Excel section, but realized it may be a word function)

Thanks!

Can you spell out exactly what you mean by "double spacing" and how you
applied it?

Data consists of paragraphs seperated by blank lines, as below:

xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx

all in one cell.

Hi rroswell86,

In a mailmerge, you get the data, not the formatting. Line feeds in an Excel cell are just that and do not represent paragraphs in
Word - even if you copy the cell and paste it into Word manually, then convert the resulting cell from a table to text.
