As posted, there is a "#" missing from your field code - you have
{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"}
and you need
{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \#"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"}

Doug - I just tried to do this and it didn't work. My field codes look like
this
{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"} and it doesn't change the format of
the number that I'm importing from Excel. What am I doing wrong?

I would like to format my numbers in a mail merge to be shown as Currency
so
with $ and 2 decimals. I know I can do this with a field code but can't
get
it to work.
