When I am using an Excell worksheet as my data source in Word mail
merge, some of my values do not show up like I want them to. The main
problems being dates, currency and numbers. For example, one of my
columns consist of numbers with two decimal points and the 1000
separator (,) but when I bring it up as my data source in word, the
numbers only have one decimal point and the separator is not there.
How can I stop this from happening?
