Default 1000 separator not showing upon merge

I had a copy of that document, but it told me to use "{}" brackets. The help
menu from 2007 Word (Vista) told me to use "()" brackets. I was only able to
get it to work using "[]" brackets. Hope this can help someone else as it
took me hours to figure it out on my own.

HELP! I have inserted a mergefield in a word document that merges with an
Excel sheet. The row in Excel is formatted as a number with a 1000
separator,
but when I merge the document the separator doesn't show. Instead of
100,000
I get 100000. How can I fix this?
