Excel to Mail Merge
We are producing invoices in mail merge using data obtained from Excel.
Most merge fields come accross correctly using \#"$0.00" formatting. However one field which is the last field of 155 is producing a totally different number. It is converting 0.1171 to $87.0000 into the invoice. This should be $0.1171 which all of the other fields are doing correctly using the same formatting. Can you suggest a solution...? |

Hi Stuart,
Check that the value in Excel has been input correctly. Data entry errors can turn numbers into a series of strings that Word will try to evaluate under some circumstances. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Stuart" wrote in message ...
