MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2006Mail merge formats
I tried the various merge field suggestions but still cannot get the merge field to display as %. I would like it to display 77% not .77%. Thanks. You probably need to multiply your number by 100. e.g. instead of { MERGEFIELD mypercentage } use { ={ MERGEFIELD mypercentage }*100 \#0% } All the {} have to be the special field braces that you can insert using ctrl-F9, not the ordinary characters you can type on the keyboard.

Okay I got how to use ctrl F9 but now I can't insert the rest of the formula. > You probably need to multiply your number by 100. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > field to display as %.
