Formatting numbers in MM
I cannot get my numbers from Excel to merge correctly into my letter. Some
of the numbers have .00000000. I searched and tried to do the tools/options/general, "confirm file conversion at opening" but did not have that option. Tried different formats - what can I do to get amounts that are $xxx.xx into my letter |

Hi Cheri,
You need to add a formatting switch to the mergefield. To do this: .. Select the mergefield and press Shift-F9. You should see something like '{MEZRGEfIELD Amount}' .. Add a numeric picture switch to the end of the mergefield, thus: '{MEZRGEfIELD Amount \# $,0.00}' .. Press F9 to update the field .. Run your mailmerge -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Cheri" wrote in message ... I cannot get my numbers from Excel to merge correctly into my letter. Some of the numbers have .00000000.
