OffXP: Mail merge converts incorrectly

[Erik Nettekoven]

Hi,

When I use mail merge to merge an Excel in to a Word document, the merge
proces does makes a strange conversion or rather a strange round off.

For example the follwing excel rows:
B_HUUR N_HUUR KONTRAKTIN
482,95 482,26 30 april 2003

When I merge it into Word:
482,95 becomes 482,25999999999999
482,95 becomse 482,94999999999999
30 april 2003 becomes 4/30/2003

* When I try this in Office 2000 with the exact same excel sheet, the values
stay as they are, that means no addition of 9999999999.

* In excel the numbers are already exact, so no rounding off takes place in
the excel sheet.

* Both office 2000 as XP are Dutch versions;

* SP1 and 2 are installed only for XP

Please help
