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.

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.
