You can try using a numeric formatting switch in Word, e.g. use Alt-F9 to
reveal the appropriate field code and change e.g.

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber }

to

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber \#"0.00" }

- have a look at Word help for other types of formatting you can apply.

You need to check that this does the correct kind of "limit"ing, i.e. if you
want rounding, make sure it does rounding; if you want truncation, make sure
it does that. If it doesn't do the thing you need you may need to change the
way you are limiting the decimal places in your query (and there can be
additional problems if the number comes from a field of type currency).
