It could be because you have cell formatting set in your excel as Currency with 2 decimals so in fact there is 117.99000000000001 but because of formatting set for that cell you see 117,99.But word takes whole cell and does not look at formatting.<br />
you can edit your excel to have all numbers with 2 decimals (round or rouondup, depends what you prefer) or you can set this formatting in merged word document using Alt+F9 (see more here <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/answer-box-numbers-don-t-merge-right-in-word-HA001116495.aspx" rel="ugc">http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/answer-box-numbers-don-t-merge-right-in-word-HA001116495.aspx</a>)

Where you can see how I have formatted it.<br />
<br />
First of, the number is indeed 117.99. That is correct. I don´t know how the 0.000000000000001 got added on. But whatever.<br />
<br />
Even if the number WERE &nbsp;117.99000000000001, there must be a way either in Word or Excel to round that to two decimal places. <br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong? It appears like this for every record in the database.<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
