MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004merging currency values from excel
How do I merge a currency value from an Excel database into a word document and retain the dollar sign, the comma separation, and the 0s to the right of the decimal? . See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm and the Excel data section of http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP E-mail gmayor@mvps.org Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> > How do I merge a currency value from an Excel database > into a word document and retain the dollar sign, the > comma separation, and the 0s to the right of the decimal? > . I had the same issue. Several months ago I was able to find instruction to correct the problem but have since thrown them away and have had the problem occur again. You have to change the excel sheet to a DDE, whatever that is, but I don't remember how I did it before. >-----Original Message----- >How do I merge a currency value from an Excel database [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >. > You have to change the excel sheet to a DDE, whatever that > is, but I don't remember how I did it before. You can change the connection method to DDE - in Word 2000 or earlier by checking the "select method" box in the Open Data Source dialog box and selecting the DDE option when offered, - in Word 2002 or later by checking Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm conversion at open", then re-establishing the connection to your data source. Again, you will be prompted for the type of connection and you can choose the one that mentions DDE. DDE is "Dynamic Data Exchange" and was an early standard Microsoft method for transferring data between programs. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > I had the same issue.
