- | + | ||
- | ==== Exporting a CSV File ==== | + | |
- | + | ||

- | + | ||
- | If you are going to use Mail Merge, you may need to open up the CSV file in Microsoft Excel and use the Text To Columns functionality in order to split the Call Number up into multiple parts. This will allow you to have better control over placing different elements of the call number on different lines. | + | |
