I want to limit the number of decimal places displayed on a Word document
when I merge data from Excel into Word. This is testing information which
includes a person'e weight. Instead of 168.2 it shows 168.1999999999. The
weight was entered into the spreadsheet (as opposed to calculated). I have
changed the number of decimal places to display in Excel and that makes no
difference.
