You need to apply a formattind switch in Word (which now ignores formatting
from the data file)
Thus {Mergefield fieldname \# ",0.00"}

Hi

i am trying to merge some formula results from excel into word. I have
rounded the formula result in excel to two decimal places (using the
=Round(**,2)) but when i merge the data accros to word it puts all the
decimal places back.
I then tried copying the resuls into another cell (using paste
special) and merging that field but i got the same result.

I am using word2003 to do this.

I have just tried the same thing on word2000 and i get the results i
need, but i need to get it working in word 2003 - has any body got
any ideas

thanks
