Also you might be better off posting an a Word newsgroup since mailmerge is
done in Word

I am using a word document to mail merge data from an excel spreadsheet.
When i merge figures they appear perfect in the word doc if they are
rounded, but if they are not rounded they appear with loads of figures
after them for example if i place 5.5 in cell it will appear fine in
the word doc but if i put 5.6 it would appear 5.5999999999999996 i
would really appreciate any help. i have tried formatting it into
different types text number s etc but no luck, i don't know where the
error is?
