See "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website at

http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm

You will need to multiply the data from the merge field by 100

{ = { MERGEFIELD percent } * 100 \# "0%" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters {}
