Limit merge to 2 decimal place

[Francis]

I am merging data from excel spreadsheet into a form in Word. The form has
cells in it that were create in excel.
The column of numbers in source excel is formated to 2 decimal places. When
I merge data into the word document cells, the number extends out to 15
places.
I have tried reducing the cell size, but the cell expands when i merge the
data.

Use Alt-F9 in Word to show the field codes, then change e.g.

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber }
to
{ MERGEFIELD mynumber \#0.00 }

(you can usually get rid of " \*Mergeformat " if you see that)

thanks for your help, but it is still there.

{ MERGEFIELD mynumber }

Update the field after making the change - F9
