[data1234]

I am using excel to do a mail merge in word 2007 when I import my fields it
takes my numbered columns and changes format in the number fields with a .
Cent. For example 2333.35 (dollar amount formatted as a number with 2
decimal spaces) it turned it into 2333.3499999999999. Why would it do this
and what do I need to do to prevent from happening again , I am beginning to
think I want my 2003 version back. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP MY JOB IS COUNTING
ON IT!

Word is using the data as it is stored in Excel. See the following page of
fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website:
