Scientific notation format of an Access mail merge dield into Word

[sbarker]

I have an Access 2003 database where some of the number fields are in
scientific format.

In Word 2003 when I insert the scientific formatted fields, they
appear in decimal format.

How can I get the inserted Access field to display the original
scientific format in Word?

Dawn, thank you for the suggestion; but I've been to MVP. I couldn't
see where they address scientific notation format (i.e.: 5.6E-08).

Hi Steve,

You may want to follow up in the Word Mailmerge newsgroup using the link below and detail how you're pulling in the data to the
mailmerge in Word.
