In July 2001 MSND library - the article is titled "Mail Merge: Part 1" (I found it by searching on "unicode and mailmerge"). The paragraphs above the section headed "Excel Workbooks"

>>>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 :-(
