Default Why does mail merge change the numbers in excel

Word simply reads the underlying data from Excel. See

I have simple numbers in my excel document that mail merge draws from,
numbers like .76 when I mail merge them into msword the come out as
.759999999999999997 or .76000000000000000001 or stuff like that, I
don't have any idea what is happening to the numbers. I have tried
all sorts of different formating.
