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

Try this instead of ROUND:

=TEXT(A1,"0.00")

Hope this helps.

The best way is to format the values in the Word mailmerge field. See
