merging whole numbers - 29 Mar 2005 23:49 GMT

Please help!!! When merging numbers that have been averaged in Excel (and
formatted in Excel to 0 spaces), how do I get rid of the decimal places and
convert to a whole number?

Graham's given you one approach, involving numeric picture switches. Another
approach is to actually round the numbers in Excel, rather than simply
relying on formatting.

See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
If you cannot work it out from this, post exactly what the field currently
produces when merged and what you expect it to produce.
