Hey all,
I have a mail merge doc I'm building for work, and I'm having a dickens of a time with it.

I have mergefields inserted from Excel that are currency and need to be formatted as such. I figured out the formatting-

{ Amount \#$#,###.00}

Problem is, I have amounts in the thousands and in the tens. That merge formatting is making it look like this:

$1,500.00
or
$ 113.50

How can I format it correctly so that the smaller numbers don't have spaces between the $ and the number?
($...13.50 where the dots are spaces,

I think I figured it out, thanks Google!

Answer: { Amount \#$,0.00;($,0.00)}

Still testing this. Anyone see a problem with this, or a better answer?
