Default Mail Merge

I'm creating a mail merge letter that takes numbers created by formulas in
excel as my data base. In my Excel spread sheet the numbers look like this:
301.29. But when I merge the document, they look like this in Word:
301.29999999999999
How do I merge the document so that the numbers look the same?
