Your Word and Excel formulae can both be reduced to:
=1-((1+2/100)*0.995)^19 and, with the appropriate formatting switch applied to the field in Word: {=1-((1+2/100)*0.995)^19 \# 0.00000} will both return -0.32447. That said, there does seem to be a bug in the Word calculation when you unnecessarily use (0.995) in the calculation; that seems to cause Word to treat the 0.995 as a -ve value. I don't see what this has to do with a mailmerge, however, as no mergefields are involved.
