This one has me puzzled. It seemed like an easy task, but the solution eludes me: - How do you substring a merge field in a Word template used for mail merging?
For example, I have something like {MERGEFIELD barcodevalue}
and I want to extract the first 6 characters as it is at the same time an identifier for something else.
I can find information on how to remove chars to the left of a given position in a numerical field (\x)
but not to the right.
