Default decimals

i completed a mail merge. my word doc is displaying decimals up to 6 places
although excel is limited to 2. i tried using the switch mentioned on
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm but still didn't get it to
work.

below is my switch attempt and the results.
{ MERGEFIELD "Mailmerge_CPM_Credit_due"\# "$,0.00;($0.00)" }
0.47999999999999998

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you update the field after adding the switch? It works for me as you
have written it.
Note that Word can get confused if you use overlong field names - like
yours!
