Default Word 2007 Mail Merge losing number formatting

All the special field brace pairs {} need to be the sort you can insert
using ctrl-F9. So you can do

1. ctrl-F9 to give you...

{ }

2. type
= * 100 \#0%
to give you

{ = * 100 \#0% }

3. click immediately after the "=" then click ctrl-F9 to give you
{ = { } * 100 \#0% }

4. Between the new { }, type
MERGEFIELD Amount

to give you

{ = { MERGEFIELD Amount } * 100 \#0% }
