I did ctrl+F9 and then typed in IF { Mergefield PCODE } = {=INT({ Mergefield
PCODE }) } "{ Mergefield PCODE \# "#" }" " { Mergefield
PCODE \# "#.##" }" leaving a space between the automatically inserted { }
from the Ctrl+F9 and the typing

Sorry I sound so stupid
Thanks again

If the mergefield construction appears in the merge result then it appears
that you have not inserted all the field delimiters with CTRL+F9. You cannot
copy and paste fields from listings and expect them to work. What *exactly*
have you inserted?

Thank you so much for all you help - The date one is now working
wonders. Still troubled over the decimal point though. I copied the
formula to ensure right setting then ctrl+F9 and posted into the doc
and changed the numberfieldname to be the column it corresponds with
- but it is merging as mergefield. I am obviously doing something
wrong. Thanks again

What result do you get when you use the conditional field?
It works here as shown.
I take it you inserted the fields manually with CTRL+F9 and that you
have the round brackets quotes and spaces as shown.

Hello,

Did you get anywhere with the .0 problem? I have tried Graham's
script but no joy. The strange thing is that it merges fine on
other PCs, but not this one.

These are very helpful in nutting out a few other nightmares with
XP (fun fun fun) but I am unable to find anything on getting the
date to come up in the right format in Word after the merge or why
the .0 is appearing. Very AAggghhhhhhh

We have recently swapped over to Windows XP and I am now having a
problem with merging to Word. I need to insert a pre-determined
date which is entered in excel as a dd/mm/yy (ie 03/03/05) raw
data set to dddd, dd mmm yyyy (ie Thursday, 03 March 2005) format
in Excel to keep this format in Word. In our old version this
would merge over automatically keeping the day month etc typed
out but now with XP this formatting is being lost (showing as ie
03/03/05 12:00AM). The formatting refers to the actual text
rather than just the font style.

Also numbers are having .0 added to the end after the merge. (ie
75 in excel (cell format etc set to numbers with 0 decimal) is
being merged to Word as 75.0)
Any suggestions???
