There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:
Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word

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

about half way down the page.

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.
I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.
(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg.)

I have numbers in cells like 3054.30, 2997.48 etc. that need to be brought
into Word via mailmerge. However, in Word docs the values change to
3054.299999 & 2997.477777 ... I tried using the =ROUND() function it did not
have any effect, then I tried using Paste Special, Values ... still no use.
Why is this happening & what could be done to keep the values as shown?
Thanks
