Default Formatting mail Merge Hell

I recently changed from XP to 2003 and now all my mail merge documents are a
problem.

I have tried the switches with limited success and changing 200 Merged
fields in one document one by one it turning out to be quite the challenge.
I still can not get the document to print the two decimal places required for
currency. Zip codes are a challenge. Our item list is a varried list of
Alpha, numeric, - and /. I have had limited success with some of the other
switch entries.

Does anyone else feel that Microsoft has taken a simple easy to use feature
and made it so complicated that you have to be a software engineer to use
this featue?
