Why is it that when I merge whole numbers from an Excel doc into a Word
document I get a decimal with several trailing numbers??
Also, when I enter elapsed times (from a stop watch from a running event)
into Excel, it always gives me the am/pm. I do not want that (am/pm) to go
into my Word doc when I merge the data.

Likely, you're VIEWING whole numbers in Excel. However, if you click on a
cell, what's actually in the formula bar?
But you can fix them using field codes. See:
