Default How come Word is adding zeros to a mail merge number from Excel?

I've set up a mail merge document in Word using an Excel spreadsheet as the
data file, but everytime Word imports the data it adds about 10 zeros
following by a "1", so 23.4 becomes 23.4000000000001. No matter how many
times a reformat the cell to only have 1 decimal place, I get this strange
output number. Has anyone run into this before???
