Can anyone help cure this formatting problem? Fields in Access selected as
currency fields merge without commas and dollar sign ending up in the merged
document.

Thanks

Word is now expected to provide the formatting for numeric and date fields.

e.g. if you use Alt-F9 to display the field codes and have a field such as

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber }

you can type a "numeric formatting switch" to add formatting info, e.g.

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber \#"$,#.00" }

These formatting switches are documented in Word Help.
