Mail Merge Question for Office 2003

P

Phillip Vong

We have a table in XLS that is merging with a Word document. The XLS shows
all the number with only 2 decimal places x.yy but the merge show a whole
bunch of other 000000000 after the last digit. How do I get the merge to
show just what is in XLS?

Ex. It should just pull over x.yy but it's pulling over x.yy00000000000

Thanks!

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions here:
