Number formating

[Mats]

Sorry I fill this forum, but I truly try to find the answer in the manual and googling before posting a question.

So, I make a number field with the price, named Price. I format the price like this i.e. 2,995.00. So far so good.

But when I on another layout use the price in a text like <> this text does not get formated with the decimals and commas. It will be written 2995 only.

So my question is if I can solve this?

You can format the merge field, just like a regular field.

Ahh got it. So I have to select the whole text block and not only the merge field.

That's a problem as before that I also have "12 Month" in the text block. And then this would also be formated with 2 decimals.

Pris: <> kronor exkl. moms

If the "12" is writed into the text ( not coming from another number field ), it will not be affected.

IOW:

Abonnemang avser: Mediahjälp 12 månader

Pris: <> kronor exkl. moms

with Price = 2995 will be writed:

Abonnemang avser: Mediahjälp 12 månader

Pris: 2,995.00 kronor exkl. moms
