Hi,

I was trying to use the mail merge function for drafting
letters.  I am using an excel spreadsheet as a data source
for this merge.  However, when I perform mail merge, the
formatting of currency and numbers do not appear as it
does in the spreadsheet.

For example,
$26,000.00 would appear in the merged document as $26000

and numbers like 26,000 would appear as 26000

I need to retain the original formatting or else I would
have to edit each page manually.  Can someone please help
me?  Thanks in advance.
