    Mail merge format issue

    Hi everyone,

    I've got an issue with mail merge. I'm trying to move numbers from the Excel spreadsheet to Word. They're very different - from 0 to 10.000.000,00 (I used '.' as a thousand separator).

    So in order to get the same formatting in Word, I used \# ,0.00 in mailmerge format. The whole procedure is explained here:

    The problem is that it doesn't work for numbers less than 1.000, i.e. there is always '.' present in each number. For example: .454,33

    How to get this out? I was trying many different combinations, with no results. I would be very grateful for your help guys, cheers.

    Karol
