So what result did the fields suggested by Graham give?
The most common problem is that people do not use the special field code
braces {} that you can insert usgin ctrl-F9 for every pair of {} in the
formula.
In this case, supposing your percentage column is called percent,
a. what is the result of { MERGEFIELD percent } ?
b. if you select { MERGEFIELD percent } then use ctrl-F9 to insert {}
around it
{ { MERGEFIELD percent } }
then type extra text to give you the following
{ ={ MERGEFIELD percent }*100 }
what result does that give?
Then type a little bit more to give you
{ ={ MERGEFIELD percent }*100 \#0% }
What result does that give?

I could not get the formula listed in
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
to work for me. So I upgraded to Word 2007 and I still can not get my
merged
decimal number to format as a percentage. Any other suggestions?
Thank you!
