The Microsoft demo uses an example of sending a letter to all employees
about
their current salaries, but when I enter a dollar amount into an Excel
spreadsheet, say $50,000.00 (formatted as Currency) it comes out in the
mail
merged Word document as 50000; non of the formatting comes across and I
can
find no easy solution to this.
