Default Number Formatting for european regional settings

Thank you for the reply. This soultion will not work for me as client did not
accept this as a solution. Any other thoughts would really help us.

I have a mail merge which has numbers (amounts) to be formatted for
european
regional settings ( comma as decimal seperator and dot as grouping
seperator).

I tried the following but it did not work.
{ MERGEFIELD "Net_Amount" \# #.###,00 }

Using MS Office 2000 on Windows XP

Appreciate you quick reply
