Jeremy,

I was not able to use this approach for mailmerge, but only while inserting txt file into word document.
The workaround for mailmerge could be (and it works for me):
- copy from table to Excel
- replace values in Excel cells containing euro symbol via Excel automation, like ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "ˆ"
- then word mailmerge procedure recognizes excel data and euro symbol in it.

Thanks to MS for headache.

>>>I perform a mailmerge in Word to do some reports. The merge data is a comma delimited text file create from VF5. However when the Euro symbol is used it appear in word as a small box. I think this has something to do with the Code Page but I've been unable to trace where I set this in Word :-(
