When you see formatting problems, how can you format the Excel mail merge field to accurately display the formatted number in a Word mail merge main document? The solution to controlling the number and currency formatting of Excel data in Word is to add a numeric switch (previously called a picture switch) to the mail merge code or MERGEFIELD. You might also see formatting issues with other numbers that are displayed as text, such as zip codes, lease or property numbers, and other identifiers. For example, a dollar amount of $1,234.00 in an Excel worksheet used as a data source may display as 1234 in a Word document. That is, the number formatting in Excel doesn’t show up correctly in the Word document. However, you may notice a glitch that happens when you create a mail merge in Microsoft Word with Excel data.
The mail merge feature in Microsoft Word is a time-saving option for creating repetitive documents, from letters to contracts to emails to labels and more.
