Excel's conditions ignored by Word in Mail-merge
I have numbers in cells like 3054.30, 2997.48 etc. that need to be brought
into Word via mailmerge. However, in Word docs the values change to 3054.299999 & 2997.477777 ... I tried using the =ROUND() function it did not have any effect, then I tried using Paste Special, Values ... still no use. Why is this happening & what could be done to keep the values as shown? Thanks |

Excel's conditions ignored by Word in Mail-merge
I'm surprised that ROUND and Paste Special/ Values didn't do the trick, but
try =TEXT(A2,"0.00"). Another option is to use field formatting codes within Word. -- David Biddulph "dindigul" wrote in message ...

Debra Dalgleish posted this: There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you: Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/as...164951033.aspx And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill has instructions he http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm about half way down the page. ========== I often cheat instead of racking my brain. I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use: =text(a2,"00000") (or whatever format I want) and use that field in the mailmerge.
