I can not thank you enough! I've been on the phone for over 30mins to
microsoft help and he could not answer me, he is going to call me
back in a couple of hours with an answer he hopes.
It's amazing when something like this works, i didn't think i would
get a response, let alone it to be that quick and to solve my problem
straight away. Seriously, thank you very much!!! :-)

See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
or
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the
General tab and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at
open" item. (In Word 2007 it is Office Button Word Options
Advanced General Confirm file format conversion on open). Then
when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, you
will be given the option of using the DDE method of connection which
should read the data as you have it formatted in the table.

on hers either nowI have all the data showing correctly in excel but
when i merge it to Word, none of the currency figures show
correctly. The symbol is missing and there are no decimal places.
This has only started happening since i loaded office 2007 on. It
use to merge fine on Office 2003.
I thought i would just use my bosses computer as we are networked
and she still has Office 2003 on hers but it won't work. Please
help me?!
