Default Displaying Two Decimal Places in Merged Excel Data

The formatting in Excel is irrelevant. Add a formatting switch to the Word
field

{Mergefield Fieldname \# "£,0.00" }

Hi

I would like to merge numerical data from Excel which has been
formatted as £1,000.10 in a Word doc. When I do this however in the
Word doc it does not display .10 but .1 even though it has been
formatted in Excel to show two characters after the decimal Point?

Any help most appreciated!
