Merged field includes extraneous numbers?

[JB needs help!]

When I use mail merge with Excel being the data source, one of the merged
fields adds extra numbers. For example, 5.263 becomes 5.262999999999. This
is not a formatting thing in Excel as the 5.263 is not driving off a formula
or anything (it's a manually entered number) and it is rounding to 3 decimal
such that if I add decimals it becomes 5.263000, etc. I have no idea where
the 9s are coming from and why it is rounding down.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
