Format switches-how do I use (attach to the merge field?
I am doing a letter to several differnt people. Each have a different pay.
When I add the merge field for the dollar amount, it is not formated for currencey. I did the formating in my database but it does not show in my letter. I tried the help and found out about the switch, but I can't find how or where I use it. I tried selecting the field and right clicking to bring up the formating switch and adding =Sum(above)/#$#,##0.00. Got an error. Where do I place the =Sum(above)/#$#,##0.00? Or am I way off base? -- Babs Anderson |
