Default Attempting Mail Merge of Means into Excel -- Help!

I am working from a spreadsheet containing means for about 5000 cells. The
original started with me using the number category with one decimal place to
"hide" the decimals after that point (e.g. 3.1 not 3.1235212343).

My ultimate goal is to merge these data into a table in a Word document. I
thought once I merged the document it would keep this formatting (3.1 only).
I was wrong (my Word mail merge shows 3.1235212343).

I went thru by hand and changed my 5000 cells to read with the 10th decimal
only (3.1 not 3.1235212343), but the longer version still comes through. What
is going on?

PLEASE HELP -- I'm so confused and getting frustrated!

Thanks, Colleen
