= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word for the Macintosh formulas can be print merged like any other information in a field, but they have some special requirements:


 * Most formula commands have commas in them. Make sure the entire formula is surrounded by quotation marks.
 * If Word is displaying paragraph marks, the actual formula code will show if it is merged into a new document. The formula result will be printed, however, if you hide paragraph markers.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Word 5.0, you can turn paragraph markers on and off by choosing Show Paragraphs or Hide Paragraphs from the View menu or by clicking the paragraph icon on the ribbon. In Word 3.x and 4.0, you can turn paragraph markers on and off by choosing Show Paragraphs or Hide Paragraphs from the Edit menu.

For more information on formulas in Word 5.0, see page 782 in the “Microsoft Word User’s Guide; in Word 4.0, see page 98 in the”Reference to Microsoft Word.&quot;
