The field construction that you require is
{ = { MERGEFIELD PROD } * 100 \# "0%" }
Each pair of field delimiters { } must be inserted by using Ctrl+F9

Try the following:
{MERGEFIELD PROD}*100 \# "0%"}
Watch the spacing, there should be a space between "*100" & the "\", and
"#"
& "0%"

Hi,
I have 41% in my data source (Excel) and it displays 0.41354836739 in
Word
(my letter).
I got a message Syntax Error when I try to correct the % formatting.
{={MERGEFIELD PROD}*100\#"0%"}
Please help me to fix it.
Thanks
Chi
