Default Formatting Percentage from Excel Data

I have a field in Excel that appears in a Word mail merge as
4.4078395849056609E-2.
I want it formatted as a percentage (ie. 4.41), but when I add the following
switch
\# ",0.00;(,0.00)"
It comes out as 0.04.

I don't know what other switch to try. Thanks in advance.

Default Formatting Percentage from Excel Data

Nevermind, I found it from another post.

{={MERGEFIELD Percent}* 100}

Thanks
