WORD and EXCEL Gurus (DEE!?)

[Leslie]

need help. 
I have a Word MERGE document that contains dollar amounts.  The dollar amounts should be aligned in a column on the right side of the document.  Cannot FTLOG get these turleys to line up.  Pulling merge data from an EXCEL worksheet.  Anyone have any suggestions?  The mergefield is formatted correctly and all else works a dream.  WHERE in the mergefield thingee do I add the decimal tab info?

It depends on what version of the software you are using-are you using Office 2003, '97, or '07.  I am currently taking the advanced college courses for both.

can you not use a table format then use white for the lines of the table. I'll ask Nick when he gets home.

HA!  I got it!  You put the decimal tab i nthe bvody of the letter and then before you add the mergefield codes ( essentially a column of numbers to the right,) tab to the decimal tab and then add the mergefield codes.
As some background, this was a document that my co-workerpassed down to me before she left on disability.  She passed away last weekend.  I really wanted to get this right for her and today, sat down, started from scratch and with Mary Lou's tenacious spirit, we finished it.
