I have a field in excel that has 7.55 but the mail merge is showing it as
7.5499999999998. the cell in excel only has the value of 7.55 and I have tried formating it as number, currency with 2 decimals and does not make a difference. it happens on several lines but not all lines |

Word pulls the VALUE, not the VIEW of the cell. Click on the cell and look
at the formula bar. THAT is what Word will pull. See this article to fix it; should only take a few moments: http://www.officearticles.com/word/m...osoft_word.htm ************ Hope it helps!

the value was 7.55 in the formula bar. But I did already find an article
about switches and I was able to fix it with \###.##. thanks for your response "Anne Troy" wrote: Word pulls the VALUE, not the VIEW of the cell. Click on the cell and look at the formula bar.
