numerals in a mail merge
Word 2003 on Windows XP
I have some numbers with varying numbers of decimals. I have them in Excel.
I formated them with two decimal places. When I bring them in to Word as a
data source, they are showing a larger number of decimal places in some
cases. 0.2 in Excel may come out as .200000000001, for example. ( I am
guessing at the number of zeroes)
Next, I copied the numbers and pasted them in NotePad to lose any formating
and then pasted them into a new spreadsheet. But when I bring these into a
mail merge, I am getting the same results.
What am I doing wrong? I would like all numbers to display with consistent
decimal places, preferably two.
Thank you
