Percentage format in merge from excel
Hi,
thanks, but it didn't work.
The second options id what I need, word is showing 0.123 without the %. I
tried the solution several times, but the result it '!Syntax Error, {'.
There is another possibility?
Thanks!

Hi Lica,
If Word is showing something like '12.34' without the percentage sign and
you need it to show '12%', try adding the '\# 0%'picture switch to your
mergefield. For example {MERGEFIELD ExcelData \# 0%}
Alternatively, if Word is showing something like '0.1234' with or without
the percentage sign and you need it to show '12%', try selecting your
mergefield, pressing Ctrl-F9 to embed it in another field and code the lot
as: '{={MERGEFIELD ExcelData}*100 \# 0%}', or '{={MERGEFIELD ExcelData}*100
\# 0.00%}' for '12.34%'.
Cheers

I have a mail merge with word & excel. In the excell I have numbers with
the
percentage format, that it is not poplating into word.
I traied to use the coding # "##%" , but it is not working. Also I cannot
remove the percentage format from the excel.
Thanks
