Question : Mail Merge from Excel - Format Percent using Switches
I am creating Statements from an Excel worksheet in Microsoft Word using a mail merge. I have a column of percentages in Excel formated as Percentage with 2 decimal places. When I merge the field into Word, 2% shows as .02. I tried playing with the field codes and created { ={MERGEFIELD Double_Points_Rate } *100 \# "0.0%"} (and various permutations thereof) but it either persists in displaying the .02, or displays 0% or gives me a syntax error.
How do I create the field (what steps do I take) so that my percentages look like 1% or 1.5%?
