Hello,

Although this may seem like an easy question, after reviewing the Word help
file as well as online resources, I still can't find an answer. I have a
merge template document that pulls data from another word document containing
one table used as the datasource. When I add a merge field to the template
document, I want the value of that specific merge field to appear as US
currency. For example, if when merged, the field will contain the data
"40123.22" (without the quotes), I want the end result displayed to be
"$40,123.22" (again, without the quotes).

If someone could please assist me in this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Add a numeric picture switch to the mergefield. See Word's Help under
"Numeric Picture (\#) field switch."
