Formatting Text from Excel

[Kate L]

I need to apply standard formatting to data I'm importing from Excel into a Word mail merge. Specifically, I want to take a field from Excel that includes several sentences of text and apply bullet points to each sentence with indenting in the Word document. Is there a way to do this?

Provided the entire cell's content is to have the same bulleted formatting applied, what you want is certainly possible. Preferably, you'd define a suitable bullet Style with the desired formatting and apply that to the paragraph containing the mergefield. Alternatively, you could just apply the desired formatting to the paragraph containing the mergefield
