You haven't really said what the problem is (or what you cannot get it to
do), but you will probably find the answer in the article "Formatting Word
fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm

I have a problem that I can't seem to address. Really simple.
We lookup numbers and format in excel that cell which has the number in
and
mailmerge and some come out in numbers and others come out in date or time
values. Now in this particular mailmerge box I don't use dates or time
just
plain 7 digit numbers and the excel cell is in general formatting. I have
also tried the number formatting with no decimal points. Help please...
