In Word there is a problem with maintaing the number format used in Excel.
(There doesn't seem to be a problem with the date format.) I am surprised by
this because this problem doesn't exist in the older versions of MS Word!!
What happened? I don't like the idea of having to fix or adjust all the data
fields!!

There seems to be a few work around solutions, but why should I bother with
those solutions when the older versions of Word and Excel worked fine
together?
