    Using Excel in a mail merge

    I have created a mail merge using excel as the database.

    Every time I run the merge the numbers appear with lots of decimal places no matter which number format I use in excel.

    I tried just copying the numbers in to word & then recopying them back to excel.

    They appeared with all the decimal places so it must be word that is the problem.

    What can I do?

    If you set Word to use DDE to link to the database, there should be no formatting problem.
    With ODBC and OLE DB, within Word you need to add formatting switches to the field codes, i.e. display the field codes and add a number formatting switch to each field ...
