I am trying to merge dollar amounts from an Excel spreadsheet

[Mary W]

and want the formatting from the spreadsheet to display in the merged
document. How do I keep the $ sign and comma?

See http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm for further information. In this case
you should probably take the "use switches in your Word fields" approach.
