Using Word 2003 with XP, I'm trying to merge an excel spreadsheet into a
word
document but I get numerous additional 0000's after the decimal on some of
the numerical data that transfers. I've double checked the cell format to
make sure that's not the problem. I can copy the excel spreadsheet into a
word file and then merge with my word document without this problem but I
really need to be able to merge directly with the excel program. Thanks
for
any help. Pat
