Default Fraction formatting for MERGEFIELD

Hi, I would like to format the Word Doc to show the same fration that exists
in the Excel cell.
eg: the Excel cell is formated to show 1/80, but when this comes across to
the Word Doc the result is 0.0125
Is there a switch code for fractions or do i need another method?

Thanks
i am using Excel 2003 and Word 2003.

In this case, you need to use the DDE connection method to the Excel data -
see the Excel data section of
