I have a Works database that I am merging into a Word 2002 document.  The
calulation in Works carries the value I want to merge to about 10 decimal
places and I only need two.  Rounding in the data source doens't help.  I
have attempted to install equation editor, but it doesn't show up in the
insert object window, even though the message from add/remove programs stated
that the update was successful.  Is there another way to truncate this
inserted value or make the EE appear where it should?
