Default Using a bookmark and applying a switch to it

Hi.

I have an external application which merges data from an Oracle DB. We need
to perform a switch on the data to reflect currency however, the available /#
switches do not apply and, instead, the field is then returned blank.
Selecting F9 does not show the Mergefield codings.

What I am reduced to understanding is that the mergefields are as is stored
in the DB and cannot be represented.

I saw a reference some time back to a process whereby the mergefield is
brought into another section of the document and Bookmarked. Then, I call the
bookmark and apply the currency formatting to it instead of the mergefield.
Can anyone refer me to an article which could explain how to do this or
perhaps, refer me to a sample VBA macro which can assist here.

Thanks in advance.
