Default \# Not Working

Try {MERGEFIELD Total_Fijo_Mensual \# "##.000"} (was that supposed to be
three decimal places?)
and {MERGEFIELD Fecha_Ult_Increm \@ "dd/MM/yy"}
and make sure the quotes are plain quotes and not smart quotes.
Having made the changes, update the fields

Dear all,
I have a problem, a big one.
I`m trying to format mergefields and \# is not working, I`ve tried
everything... also \@ is not working.
I have Office 2003 SP1 in Spanish.
Thanks in advance
