Default How do I show zeros transfered from excel to mail-merge word?

Okay, I have made my one of columns in Excel as currency, and when I
transfer that data over to mail-merge word to print my letters, it only shows
the value of $74.40 as $74.4. What do I need to do?

One way would be to format the currency column as text. That way, whatever is
in the cell will be transferred.

But formatting as text a column which is currently formatted as currency
will *not* keep the formatting of the data currently displayed. Your
$74.40 would change to 74.4. You'd be better off with a helper column such
as =TEXT(A1,"$0.00").
