Displaying Two Decimal Places in Merged Excel Data
Hi
I would like to merge numerical data from Excel which has been formatted as £1,000.10 in a Word doc. When I do this however in the Word doc it does not display .10 but .1 even though it has been formatted in Excel to show two characters after the decimal Point? Any help most appreciated! Debs |

The formatting in Excel is irrelevant. Add a formatting switch to the Word
field {Mergefield Fieldname \# "£,0.00" } see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Debs wrote: Hi I would like to merge numerical data from Excel which has been formatted as £1,000.10 in a Word doc.
