Default Mail Merge / excel

HI! I am trying to format to a % and it is not coming in correctly.
I searched and found this message.

My answer in Excel is 121.9%; however it is merging into my word doc as 1.22%

This is what my field reads: {MERGEFIELD "my field name" * 100 \# ",0.0%"}

I see that you are recommending adding an additional field bracket, however
when I enter as suggested below, I receive this !Syntax Error, {

How do I add additional brackets? Or better yet, how do I make this work
so that my answer in word is 121.9%

Thanks, Pat

Did you enter the second enclosing pair of field brackets with CTRL+F9?
