Default % merges into word document in scientific format.

Hi,

When I merge a field from excel to a letter in word it converts the cells, which are formatted as a % into scientific format. Is there a way to get the cells to show up as they should?

There is no formula on the cells. For example, 0.0016 is the data, formatted to a % it reads 0.16%

Thanks
