Peter - I just checked my code and I guess with all my queries out there last
Friday, I must have found the right syntax because I have the # sign in there
now.

Thanks so much for the clarification. I was so happy to see that it worked
before I went home on Friday. Love it when things work.

Again, thanks everybody for all your continued support. I don't know what
I'd do without my MS Tech group.

As posted, there is a "#" missing from your field code - you have

{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"}

and you need

{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \#"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"}

Doug - I just tried to do this and it didn't work. My field codes look like
this

{MERGEFIELD "Sale" \"$,0.00; ($,0.00)"} and it doesn't change the format of
the number that I'm importing from Excel. What am I doing wrong?

Press Alt+F9 to reveal the field codes and insert

\# "$,0.00;($,0.00)"

before the closing }

I would like to format my numbers in a mail merge to be shown as Currency
so
with $ and 2 decimals. I know I can do this with a field code but can't
get
it to work.
