When I merge from Excel into Word, number with two decimal places extend to 7
digits. How do I control that?

The starting point is to use Alt-F9 to display your merge field codes and
where you have, for example,

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber }

type a "formatting switch" \#0.00

to give you

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber \#0.00 }

If there's a \*Mergeformat switch in there, leave it at the end of the
field.
