Default Mail Merge with Excel Data

I am trying to do a mail merge from Excel to Word. The numbers I am using in
Excel are the results of calculations, and consequently, when I import them
into word, go on for upwards of 6 decimal places. I want the number to be
imported with 2 decimal places only. I´ve tried everything I can think of to
do this. I´ve changed the formatting in excel (which doesn´t help, as
apparently even though the number shows it only has 2 decimal places, Excel
stores the actual number). I´ve also tried copying the information from
Excel into notepad, but notepad is smart enough that it, too, uses the actual
number and not the formatted one.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Jonathan
