When merging a currency field from Excel, it will merge any cents (example
$23.32), but if it's zero cents, it will not print the zeros (example
$23.00). How do I get it to include the .00?

I appreciate your response, but it's way more than I can interpret. It
should be a simple matter for us technically-challenged people to do. Thanks
anyway!

The use of switches on fields is elementary stuff and if you want Word to
produce the merges you require you are going to have to bite the bullet and
learn about it.

Select the offending field which will probably look like
fieldname
Right click and toggle the display to show
{Mergefield fieldname}
Within the brackets add the switch

{Mergefield fieldname \# "$,0.00"}
Press F9 then if necessary toggle the display back again.
