I use mail merge to fill in text and numerical fields in quotations. This
worked well when using Office XP however now that I changed to 2003 I have
problems. First I had to re-associate all of the fields but now everywhere I
put in a number in Excel the mail merge document shows an extra decimal
place. (i.e. Excel field = 4, mail merge field = 4.0)

See

or see the Excel data section of
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm (the issues with
Excel would be the same as for Access).

Doug:
Thanks, I will try this.
BTW your second link to the Excel data section would not work for me.
Thanks again
