Formatting a number

[Ricky Gibson]

I merged some data from an excel-sheet into a table in my Word-document.
In excel I have a cel with 3,4% in it. After the merge I get in Word (in
the cel in my Word-table) the following: 3,4000000000E-2
With Alt+F9 I show the field: {MERGEFIELD "Percentage"}
I tried to format the field as follows: {MERGEFIELD "Percentage" \#,# }
That does not work. This is what I got from the help in Word.
It looks like I am doing something wrong, but what?

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Ricky
