Excell Data not displaying properly Dave 5/15/2007 11:36:00 PM I have been trying to do a mailmerge where I can take student's grades from a Excel Spreadsheet and show them in a report done in Word. I use Excel to do my calculation and it diplays with the % sign that I need. When I do the merge it shows a decimal point and a large string of numbers. I have tried the Alt f9 and typing sent before but it just doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Excell Data not displaying properly "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 5/16/2007 3:33:44 AM I assume that the Alt F9 that you refer to is adding a numeric formatting switch (\# " ") to the field. Exactly what was the modified field construction and what result does it give? -- Hope this helps.
