I am merging numbers from Excel into a Word document. When merged, there is
a space after each number (123,456 ). There is not an extra space in the
Word merge doc. before nor after the merge field, nor is there a space after
the number in the Excel worksheet. For the numbers that are supposed to show
as negative numbers, the mergefield is between beginning parenthesis and end
parenthesis (mergefield 2). Because of the extra space, when merged there is
a space before the end parenthesis. How do I fix this?

Which version of Word is involved, here? Did you choose a data connection
method, or let Word use its default?
