\# Not Working
It's still not working. I've read your page, very good source.
neither of them are working Don't know what to do, I've updated the values with F9 save it and opened it again. I've tried this... ¨{MERGEFIELD "Total_Fijo_Mensual"\# "##.000} and..... {MERGEFIELD Fecha_Ult_Increm \@ "dd/MM/yy"} Don`t know what to do.. Thanks fotr your help Graham Mayor ha escrito: Try {MERGEFIELD Total_Fijo_Mensual \# "##.000"} (was that supposed to be three decimal places?) and {MERGEFIELD Fecha_Ult_Increm \@ "dd/MM/yy"} and make sure the quotes are plain quotes and not smart quotes.

\# Not Working
What is the data source and what field types are Total_Fijo_mensual and
Fecha_Ult_Increm ? Does for example, { DATE \@ "dd/MM/yy" } work as you expect? If it does, it sounds as if Word is not recognising Fecha_Ult_Increm as a date. Something similar could be going on with Total_Fijo_Mensual as well (although I rather doubt it. {MERGEFIELD "Total_Fijo_Mensual"\# "##.000} It really needs to be { MERGEFIELD "Total_Fijo_Mensual" \# "##.000" } or {MERGEFIELD Total_Fijo_Mensual \# "##.000" } (the spacing may or may not be important but the closing quote probably is).
