I know this is simple but can't seem to find the solution:
The formula is to mulitply a mergefield by 13.33%
The result comes out .000 even using \# $#,###.##
{={mergefield \# $#,###.##}*.13.33}

Something more like

{ ={ MERGEFIELD mynumber }*0.1333 \# "$,0.00" }

is more likely to do it. Each pair of {} needs to be the field braces you
can insert using ctrl-F9, not the regular keyboard characters "{" and "}"
