How can I setup a merge field so that the result appears in a specific
format? I need to do a mail merge using an Excel spreadsheet as the source,
however the telephone numbers are not formated as such (eg 4079947953). For
the merge, I need them to appear formated as phone numbers.

My phone numbers as coming in from a access database and are in text fields.

That rather depends on the result you get when you enter the field without a
switch. If it is a number then no.
