For example:
- To display the number "34987.89" as "$34,987.89," add a numeric picture switch (\# $#,###.00).
- To display the number "0945" as "9:45 PM," add the date/time picture switch (\@ "h:mm am/pm").
- To ensure that the merged information has the same font and point size you apply to the merge field, add the \* MERGEFORMAT switch.
