Percentage Mail Merge Formatting

[Michele]

I'm merging from a spreadsheet which has columns formatted
for percentages (i.e 27.15%). I've tried adding the
following switches, but have not been able to get the
formatting to carry over into the mass letters I'm
creating:

{ = 100 * {MERGEFIELD "F" net_util } \# "0.00%" (I get a
snytax error)

{ = "MERGEFIELD "F"} * 100 \# "0.00%"} (I get 0.10%)

Is there something I'm missing? This is driving me so
insane!

TIA

Michele

Hi Michele,

Try

{ = 100 * {MERGEFIELD "F" } \# "0.00%" }
