Default format numbers in merged document

I created a table in a word document. I also created an excel document with
whole numbers. When I try to insert a merge field, the numbers come out with
decimals. How do I make these numbers whole or with 1 decimal?

Saw that website yesterday and tried to make sense of it, but couldn't.
Today after your reply just started playing with the switches. Thanks for
the help.

Alternatively, you can connect to Excel using DDE, which will preserve the
number formatting. See
