Well I've found a partial answer at
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_wor...m#basic_switch
{={mergefield}*100\#"0%"}
but this gives it 0 dec places and I'd like 1 dec place. I've tried making
the 0% 0.0% but no difference.
Any ideas would be brilliant

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to merge data from Excel 2003 into Word 2003 but I'm having
trouble with a calculated percentage field which gives 16 dec places when
I
only need 1. I've tried changing to text but it's still remembering the
whole
of the number. I've even tried changing to precision as displayed and
then
doing a copy paste values but this does not make any difference.
Any suggestions
