I can not thank you enough! I've been on the phone for over 30mins to
microsoft help and he could not answer me, he is going to call me back in
a
couple of hours with an answer he hopes.
It's amazing when something like this works, i didn't think i would get a
response, let alone it to be that quick and to solve my problem straight
away. Seriously, thank you very much!!! :-)

See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
or
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General
tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. (In
Word
2007 it is Office Button Word Options Advanced General Confirm
file
format conversion on open). Then when you attach the data source to the
mail
merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method
of
connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the
table.

on hers either nowI have all the data showing correctly in excel but
when i merge it to Word, none of the currency figures show correctly.
The symbol is missing and there are no decimal places. This has only
started happening since i loaded office 2007 on. It use to merge
fine on Office 2003.
I thought i would just use my bosses computer as we are networked and
she still has Office 2003 on hers but it won't work. Please help me?!
