Thanks for your response. I get a syntax error when I use your suggestion.
I add a field code using ctrl+F9 then insert your suggestion minus the first
and last {}.

try
{ =int({ MERGEFIELD mynumber }*10)/10 }
where all the {} are the special field code brace pairs that you can
insert using ctrl-F9, and "mynumber" is the name of your mergefield.

I have a number being merged from excel which is formatted to 1 decimal

how to do this with number formats / decimal places within the word doc.
Can anyone shed light on it?
