Hello All,

I have a spread sheet with a list of attendees for a company dinner we are hosting. Many of the attendees are from overseas and use characters such as accents. In the spread sheet the names and characters look fine. When I bring them into word through a Mail Merge it changes those characters to a ?. I have tried changing the fonts in the merge document and it does not help. I have tried changing the fonts in the Excel spread sheet to other fonts first. I even tried a Unicode font thinking it may work better. Still getting ?'s. Any ideas?

I am using Office 2000 SP3.

Thanks,
Daniel Joaquin
