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

it to
display to 1dp. I'm aware of switches to control formatting but don't
know
how to do this with number formats / decimal places within the word doc.

Can anyone shed light on it?
