Using a "Currency" field from Access

I'm trying to merge a field from Access; Data Type: Currency. When the field appears in Word, it doesn't display as currency. (Examples: "$ 25.90" in access appears as "25.9" in Word. $500.00 appears as 500)

Is there a way to get Word to read the field as currency and display the item as it appears in Access?
