Default format a % field in a mail merge

Something like

{ ={ MERGEFIELD myfield }*100 \#0 }

or

{ ={ MERGEFIELD myfield }*100 \#0.0 }

to display to 1 decimal place, where
- myfield is the name of the Excel column/field
- both pairs of {} are trhe special field code braces that you can enter
using ctrl-F9
