Add currency comma word mail merge

A very specific request!

To add a currency symbol and comma to a word document using mail merge, you'll need to use a combination of fields and formatting. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Microsoft Word document with a mail merge field (e.g., &"Currency"&) that you want to format with a currency symbol and comma.
2. You have a data source (e.g., an Excel spreadsheet or a database) that contains the values you want to merge into the document.

Step 1: Create a custom field

1. In your Word document, go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
2. Click on "Insert Merge Field" and select "Custom" from the dropdown menu.
3. In the "Custom Field" dialog box, enter a name for your field (e.g., CurrencyWithSymbol).
4. In the "Format" field, enter the following formula: &"€ "&"#,##0.00" (replace € with your desired currency symbol).

This custom field will format the value with a currency symbol (in this case, the Euro symbol) and a comma as a thousand separator.

Step 2: Update your mail merge field

1. Go back to your mail merge field (e.g., &"Currency"&) and update it to reference your custom field: &"CurrencyWithSymbol"&.

Step 3: Run the mail merge

1. Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon and click on "Finish & Merge" to run the mail merge.
2. Select the data source you want to use and click "OK".
3. Word will merge the data into your document, using the custom field to format the values with a currency symbol and comma.

Tips and Variations:

• To use a different currency symbol, simply replace € with the symbol you want to use (e.g., $, £, etc.).
• To use a different thousand separator, modify the format string in the custom field (e.g., &"€ "&"#,###.00" for a period as a thousand separator).
• If you want to use a different decimal separator, you can modify the format string as well (e.g., &"€ "&"#,##0.00" for a comma as a decimal separator).
