Show % in Table from Merge

[Dave]

I am using Office 2007 and I am trying to use mailmerge to complete forms and
instead of showing 85.7% it will show 0.857 6999999999459 (or something like
that)
Any help appreciated

Use alt-F9 to show the underlying MERGEFIELD field e.g.

{ MERGEFIELD mypercentage }

Select that, and press ctrl-F9 to enter a pair of field code braces. You
should see something like

{ { MERGEFIELD mypercentage } }

Then type the rest of the stuff to end up with something like the text
below:

{ ={ MERGEFIELD mypercentage } * 100 \#"0.0%" }
