When I try to perform a mail merge from excel to word, the excel
cells have the correct format, eg. decimal places, % and $ signs.
When I conduct the merge, I lose the % and $ signs, and numbers are
blown out to ~ 15 decimal places.

This did not occure with Office 2000. I'm sure I just need to tick a
format box or something but I don't know where?
