Good afternoon,
I am merging an Excel database containing numbers formatted to currency, two
decimel places with comma separator.
When I merge this data, I use the following:
{MERGEFIELD "Arrears" /#"£#,##0.00" }
Howwever, whilst £1,234.00, is displayed correctly, £62" is displayed
"£ 62.00", "£123.45" is displayed "£ 123.45" etc. In other words, the £
character is frozen in place and the numbers shunt to the right depending on
their size.
Is there any way to make sure that the £ is always immediately to the left
of the first numeric character?
Thanks in advance & have a good weekend
Pete

Try
{ MERGEFIELD "Arrears" /#"£,0.00" }

I think you'll find more success with { MERGEFIELD "Arrears" \#"£,0.00" }
;)
