Default Mail merge with word and excel

I am attempting to populate a mail merge using an excel spreadsheet. I have
a number from the excel that I want in the mail merge. When I look at the
numbers in excel it shows up as ex. 5.125%. When I do the mail merge it shows
like this .05125. I want it to look as it does in excel. How do I make this
happen.

I also want to be able to round to the nearest whole number. For example in
excel a number will show as $2500. When I populate the mail merge it shows
as 2500.034303434. I want the mail merge to eliminate all the numbers after
the decimal.

Can anyone help??????

Default Mail merge with word and excel

Word only imports the raw data from Excel so it needs reformatting in Word -
Both examples are covered at
