Percentage format in merge from excel
Hi Lica,
If Word is showing something like '12.34' without the percentage sign and you need it to show '12%', try adding the '\# 0%'picture switch to your mergefield. For example {MERGEFIELD ExcelData \# 0%} Alternatively, if Word is showing something like '0.1234' with or without the percentage sign and you need it to show '12%', try selecting your mergefield, pressing Ctrl-F9 to embed it in another field and code the lot as: '{={MERGEFIELD ExcelData}*100 \# 0%}', or '{={MERGEFIELD ExcelData}*100 \# 0.00%}' for '12.34%'.

You didn't use CTRL+F9 to enter the curly brackets - see

Hi Lica,
Are you sure you used '\' and not '/' to denote the picture switch? Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Lica" wrote in message ... Hi Graham, Yes, I used!

Percentage format in merge from excel
The syntax error shows a left curly bracket as the problem. This implies
that you manually typed that bracket rather than use CTRL+F9 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lica wrote: Hi Graham, Yes, I used!
