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

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.
I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"ddmmyy")
or
=text(a2,"mm:ss.0")
or
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.
(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg.)

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the rounded values in an excel spreadsheet as fields in my
mail merge. The merge pulls up the original number with many decimal places.
How do I get the merge to show the rounded value?
Thanks for your help!
