You have to format the merge field(s) in the merge document in Word.

In Word, click in the merge field and press Shift+F9, or right-click in the merge field and select Toggle Field Codes.

You should see something like

{ MERGEFIELD Amount }

or

{ MERGEFIELD Amount \* MERGEFORMAT }

Change it to look like this:

{ MERGEFIELD Amount \# "$#,0.00" }

Press F9 to hide the field code and to update the result.
