field to display as %. I would like it to display 77% not .77%. Thanks. |

You probably need to multiply your number by 100.
e.g. instead of { MERGEFIELD mypercentage } use { ={ MERGEFIELD mypercentage }*100 \#0% } All the {} have to be the special field braces that you can insert using ctrl-F9, not the ordinary characters you can type on the keyboard.

Just type everything else in between the special braces in the usual way.
