How can I keep database format cells at Excel when using Word Mai.
 

I am making letters for several people in wich I show money or percentages. I
used to use it before by mail merge in Word 2002 and in order to preserve
formats I use to change my database (Excel 2002) to DDE. But now I can't find
this option. What else can be done in order to preserve these formats?

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word

It mentions DDE, but has a couple of other techniques you could use.
