Same variable, 2 different tables, formats incorrectly in 2nd table

[LoriS]

I'm using WP8.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've created a form for a staff member which uses the ASSIGN merge code to create a variable from a KEYBOARD input command (9 variables total).&nbsp;&nbsp;Seven (7) variables (numeric) are used in an 8-row/2-column table on the first page.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the second page of the form, the same 7 variables (numeric) are used in a duplicate of the table -- the only difference is in the second table I've inserted a blank row between the rows containing the variables.&nbsp;&nbsp;The column where the variables are in both tables has been formatted to display, e.g., 0.00 or 250.00, even if the user inputs 0 or 250.<br><br>The problem is that while in the first table, items format just as they should (0.00 and 250.00), in the second table, the column with the variables loses the formatting when I do the merge, e.g., they show as 0 and 250 even though the formatting was present!&nbsp;&nbsp;I can go in after the merge is completed and manually reset the formatting so the numbers display correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried a variety of things to troubleshoot this and nothing seems to work, can't find anything in Corel's knowledgebase, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Has anyone encountered this?&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone have any idea if I'm doing something wrong, or what is happening, or how to correct it?&nbsp;&nbsp;Geez Louise, it's driving me crazy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for your help.&nbsp;&nbsp;LS<br>
