How do I format numbers merged from Excel in a Word 2007 table?
I am doing a mail merge between Excel 2007 and Word 2007. What is the command
to format the numbers that are being imported, so they appear as currency? |

How do I format numbers merged from Excel in a Word 2007 table?
Typically,
a. use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes. You should see something like { MERGEFIELD myamount } or { MERGEFIELD myamount \*Mergeformat } where "myamount" is the column name of your number. b. delete \*Mergeformat if you see it, and type in a "numeric format switch" so your field looks as follows: { MERGEFIELD myamount \#"$,0.00" } In this case, $ is the currency sign, "," is the thousands separator set up in regional options, and "." is the decimal point set up in regional options. So substitute those values as necessary. If you happen to have values in different currencies in the same column, things are harder - ask again.
