Problem:
Numeric Fields Not Displaying Currency Sign when doing a mail merge.
Solution:
To change the format of a field merged into an Microsoft Word document, do the following:
Press ALT-F9 to view field codes. Doing so will display merged fields as follows:
{MERGEFIELD PAYROLL_AMOUNT}
Add a field switch to set the format you want. For example,
{MERGEFIELD PAYROLL_AMOUNT\# $#,##0.00}
will display the merged field from the Access Database (linked to a DB2/400 table) with a dollar sign and commas.
For additional information, search Microsoft Word's Help menu's field switches category.
