I have created a mail merge using excel as the database.
Every time I run the merge the numbers appear with lots of decimal places no
matter which number format I use in excel.
I tried just copying the numbers in to word & then recopying them back to
excel.
They appeared with all the decimal places so it must be word that is the
problem.
What can I do?
Word merely imports the raw Excel data. You need to format the fields with
formatting switches - see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
