Default How do you preserve the data format from your data source when me.

I made a form that I added an insert merge field from my data source. This
field is a number field with 2 decimals. However, when I merge the file, the
data shows in word having more than 2 decimals. How and where do I go to fix
it down to 2 decimals when merged to a new word document? Thanks for your
help. DOU
