I am a student who is learning MS Publisher 2003. In mail merges, publisher
does not recognize tab-delimited text files. If you try to mail merge with a
tdt file, the data appears as one column entry, making it impossible to sort
by separate fields or insert separte fields as a formally formatted address
block. Converting the file to a comma-delimited text file (comma separated
values) solves the problem. The fields appear separately as they should in
the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, so that you can sort by separate fields
and then set up a properly formatted address block. Please correct this
problem. This message is posted on 02/06/05.
