Hi there

Wonder if someone could help me? I'm currently doing a mailmerge from an
excel datasource. I have a column of figures displayed as percentages in
excel (ie 6%) but when this data is in word as part of the merge is it
displayed as 0.06.  How can I get the same result in my merged documents as I
do in excel?

I have tried what www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm suggests but
think I still must be doing something wrong. I have in my word document:-

{MERGEFIELD "base" * 100\# "0%"}

Many thanks.

I think you need to read my web page more carefully! What the page says you
need is:

{={Mergefield base} * 100 \# "0%"}

Use CTRL + F9 for each set of brackets {} and type the rest
