Using excel in a merge

[M. Higginbottom]

I have created a mail merge using excel as the database.

Every time I run the merge the numbers appear with lots of decimal places no
matter which number format I use in excel.

I tried just copying the numbers in to word & then recopying them back to
excel.

They appeared with all the decimal places so it must be word that is the
problem.

What can I do?

Word merely imports the raw Excel data. You need to format the fields with
formatting switches - see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
