Hi,

I am trying to perform a formletter mail merge using a
Word97 template and Excel 97 spreadsheet as the
datasource. The problem I encounter is with the following
international character set:

�  �  �  �  �  �  &#256;  &#258;  &#260;      �  �  �  �  �  �  &#257;
&#259;  &#261;
�  &#262;  &#264;  &#266;  &#268;    �  &#263;  &#265;  &#267;  &#269;
&#270;  &#272;    &#271;  &#273;
�  �  �  �  &#274;  &#276;  &#278;  &#280;  &#282;    �  �  �  �  &#275;
&#277;  &#279;  &#281;  &#283;
&#284;  &#286;  &#288;  &#290;    &#285;  &#287;  &#289;  &#291;
&#292;  &#294;    &#293;  &#295;
�  �  �  �  &#296;  &#298;  &#300;  &#302;  &#304;    �  �  �  �  &#297;
&#299;  &#301;  &#303;  &#305;
&#308;    &#309;
&#310;    &#311;  &#312;
&#313;  &#315;  &#317;  &#319;  &#321;    &#314;  &#316;  &#318;  &#320;
&#322;
�  &#323;  &#325;  &#327;  &#330;    �  &#324;  &#326;  &#328;  &#329;
&#331;
�  �  �  �  �  �  &#332;  &#334;  &#336;    �  �  �  �  �  �  &#333;  &#335;
&#337;
&#340;  &#342;  &#344;    &#341;  &#343;  &#345;
&#346;  &#348;  &#350;  S    &#347;  &#349;  &#351;  s
&#354;  &#356;  &#358;    &#355;  &#357;  &#359;
�  �  �  �  &#360;  &#362;  &#364;  &#366;  &#368;  &#370;    �  �  �  �
&#361;  &#363;  &#365;  &#367;  &#369;
&#371;
&#372;    &#373;
�  &#374;  Y    �  �  &#375;
&#377;  &#379;  Z    &#378;  &#380;  z


Once the mail merge has generated a new merge file, it
does not convert the above characters correctly. However,
I can perform the same mail merge using a Word97 document
as my datasource and it works fine. Can someone tell me if
there is a fix for this problem? I would like to use Excel
as my datasource.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
