Mail merge - formatting numbers
We are attempting to create a mail merge in Publisher using data from an
excel file. Several of the merge fields contain numbers which we would like to display as only two decimal places. I tried using the switch (\# $#,##0.00 ), but this didn't work in Publisher. Can anyone offer assistance?

How about saving the Excel file as a .csv? Will that work?
