mailmerge from excel into word

[siddharth shanghvi]

HI..I am using the mailmerge fuction to get get data from excel into word and
I am having trouble with the format of the numbers. I am adding the following
" \# "$,0;($0)"" to the mergefield command and for the +ve numbers the
formating is fine.. but for the -ve numbers, they do show up in paranthesis
but the comma seperators on the numbers dont show up. Can anyone help me with
this.

Thanx

Did you try

\# "$,0;($,0)"

?

(Each part of the format is completely separate)
