I have an excel file that I am trying to merge.  It has donations in it and
some have $0.00, when I merge it with my form it puts "$0.00".  If it is less
than $1 I want it to be blank.  I have gone to mail merge helper and told it
to leave blank, but when I merge it still puts the 0 there.  

When I put my merge field in place I right clicked and then toggled field
with \# $,0.00.  I am not sure if that is my problem.  I am at a loss.
Any help would be much apprecitated.

I don't know if this will help in your situation or not, but if you choose Form Options from the Tools menu, and then look on the General tab, there's a check box at the bottom of that tab for "Treat blank values as zero".

Now I'm not quite sure where this option comes into play -- but it just might help you in your situation.
