Because you are not rounding it, you are just changing the display. The
underlying value is the same, you can use a formula like =ROUND(A2,0)
instead
then copy and paste special as values or you can change it using a switch in
Word but you would be better posting that part in a Word newsgroup

Am working on a school grading worksheet to merge into a letter to each
child's parent(s). I want to round the grades to a whole number and not to
a
decimal number. I used the tool on the toolbar to get rid of decimal but
it
comes back when I use the merge mail feature.
