I've set up a mail merge document in Word using an Excel spreadsheet as the
data file, but everytime Word imports the data it adds about 10 zeros
following by a "1", so 23.4 becomes 23.4000000000001. No matter how many
times a reformat the cell to only have 1 decimal place, I get this strange
output number. Has anyone run into this before???

Hi

Formatting the cell affects only the way the number is displayed, not the
number itself. You have to round values, p.e. adding a new column with
formula =ROUND(ExactValue,1), and use this column as source for MM.
