I viewed the help in another posting and tried it. It solved the
problem of hainalm the decimals but I need it to dispay as 75% not
0.75.

Here's what I have in Word 2003 document: {MERGEFIELD
"Van"*100\#"0%"} Souce document shows in cell 75% and is formatted
as a percentage with no decimals.

Merged results: Van 0.75
Desired results Van 75%

Can anyone help?
