Hello,

I am encountering a problem with the thousands separator in a Word mail merge.

The data format in Excel is a number with the thousands separator applied (for example, 21'000.00).

In Word, I am using the following formula to get the number in the correct format (with the thousands separator):

MERGEFIELD "field name" \#'00.00

And I receive the following error message:

Error! The image string contains mismatched quotation marks.

This is particularly strange since my formula worked perfectly well with the previous version of Word. I also tried using #'#0.00, but I receive the same error message.

Thank you in advance for your help as I am struggling to find a solution.

Nicolas

Hello,

This format 21'000.00 is not a French format. It is therefore not recognized unless you change the regional settings of Windows.
