Number fields not merging correctly
The number field when merged added a bunch on zeroes onto the end of the
number, tried to change the format of the field and it didn't matter. This is in Office XP, if I got back to Office 2000 I don't have this issue. Is there an update are something that I need to run. It already has service pack 1 installed for Office XP and it has SP3 for Windows 2000. |

Did you try using a format switch in the field, e.g. instead of
{ MERGEFIELD mynumber } try { MERGEFIELD mynumber \#0.00 } or some such (it depends on exactly what you need). Alternatively switch back to the connection method used by default in Word 2000, i.e. check Tools|Options|General|Confirm conversions at open, then go through the connection process again and choose DDE when offered.
