There are no numbers 'like' 123,456.00 -- the value is 123456: the
display -- ie the comma and point -- is the default *formatting* in Excel.
Change the format to what you want (ie no thousands separator) and your
problem goes away.

I tried this and it didn't work....

I used the =value() formula to convert the text to numerical values. It
convereted to a number like 123,456.00. When I copied and pasted the
values
into Word using Paste Special Unformatted option, it still only copies in
123; after that, it truncates the number.

Fix the values in Excel: the underlying values should simply be numbers.
The
commas and decimal should simply be formatting appliued to the number;
from
your description, the values seem to have been entered as text. You can
use
Excel's functions to convert the text to numbers; the import to Word
should
then work correctly.

I have values in Excel that are formatted with a decimal and comma. I
need
to copy it over to Word in a table using Paste Special Unformatted
Text.
When this happens, though, Word uses the comma as a delimiter and cuts
off
digits. Is there a way to copy the values over with a comma and still
use
Paste Special??

Thanks!
