Summary:

When information is imported into a Microsoft Works database, some fields may be split into two fields.

Works databases recognize both tabs and double spaces as field delimiters. Using a field with a double space will split the field into two fields. To correct this problem, copy the database into the Word Processor module and use the Replace command on the Search menu to replace any double spaces with a single space.
