The other thing to consider is the Excel data. Is the value of the cell
really 385.23, or is is it really 385.230...1 and appearing as 385.23 due to
cell number formatting? Depending on your needs, you might want to apply a
ROUND function to that cell so that it really outputs 385.23.

I am currently trying to merge numeric data from Excel into an e-mail
however
when bringing the data from excel Word is actuall adding on an additional
string of numbers to the number I am trying to merge. Following is an
example.

Number as it appears in Excel Number as it appears in Merge
385.23 385.23000000000001

Any suggestions on how to lose the additional string of information would
be
most helpful.
