Mail merge with EXCEL data question?

I'm doing a mail merge with Microsoft Word. The data i'm pulling is in an excel document. The formulated value in a certain cell reads "6.62%". When I merge it into word, I need it to read "6.62%". Instead, it reads the true value of the cell which is 6.6199999999999995E-2. I can not manually type 6.62% into the cell as it is a formulated cell. Please help! Thanks!!

Update:

I just tried changing the cell to 6.62% instead of it being a formula, and it STILL is having the same issue. I'm going nuts.

Update 2:

It's already formatted as percentage and 2 decimal places.

Update 3:

That won't work because I need it to read 6.62%. It is a formulated cell that is already formatted as a percentage. Is there anything that can be done in Word perhaps?

    Go to format on the toolbar, click on cells, On the Number tab, in the options window choose percent and then select the number of decimal places.

    Try changing the cell format from general or percentage to text and then copy and paste it in word. It might work
