Mail Merge "Find Entry" doesn't find record

After moving from Office 97 to Office 2003, "Find Entry" in Word doesn't find
the record (Excel). We have a Word Form Template to build release notes
based off a record in an Excel document. I have reset the data source. We
use "Find Entry" to search for a value in the first column of Excel. I have
reviewed the online docs/issues/kb's and didn't find a simular
issue/resolution.

RE: Mail Merge "Find Entry" doesn't find record

Ah, the values in the column were not all numbers. Some numbers were left
justifying and showing as text. Cleaned up the data and now the find works.
