When merging from excell, how do I keep $ and no decimal
I am trying to merge an Excell spreadsheet into Word. One of my columns, is
a computed figure title Total Contact. In Word, I want the number to be in this format: $30,800. I can only get it to print in this format 30800.25. How do I do this? |

Shelly, Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem, even if
I actually key the comma in the Excel file. I handled the "$" by including it in my Word file. -- sg "Shelly Reiff" wrote: I am trying to merge an Excell spreadsheet into Word.

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes and inside the
closing } at the following formatting switch: \# "$,0" For more information, see "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Hope this helps.

Shelly & Sueg
Add the switch to the mergefied so it will look like this: {Mergefield Amount \# "$,0;($,0)"} -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "sueg" wrote in message ...

You do not have to do it monthly, you just do it the one time in the
mailmerge main document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
