MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2004Word03 mail merge with excel formating problem
mail merge works great but all the numbers from excel lose their formating. They go from $1,000,000 to 1000000 Any help would be greatly appreciated. I never had this problem with my older version of Word or Excel? Hi Andrew, See "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm  SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.
