Currency merge from Excel to Word
 
I have currency formatted numbers in a column that I merge into a Word
document. When I do the merge, the $ sign, comma and period do not follow
into the word document. What am I doing wrong?

Currency merge from Excel to Word
 
Are you talking about mailmerge? Make the currency values text

=TEXT(A1,"$#,##0.00")

then copy and paste special over the old values and then delete any help
cells where you put the formula, then try to mailmerge

all you need to know including "force word to use the number format you
want"
