Rounding numbers
I am merging from a dbf file that has a field were the dollar amount is
carried out 9 places because of sales taxes. Example $185.050000001. How can I make Word2003 change this to regular dollars and cents? To round up to two places. Also can you caculate in Word mail merge? Example: Balance field - credits field times sales tax? Thanks --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

I round by right clicking on the field, then toggling used the toggle field
code command. Then follow the instructions on http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm When you click update, you get the original field name back "GTNET " wrote: I am merging from a dbf file that has a field were the dollar amount is carried out 9 places because of sales taxes.
