Default mail merge multiple documents - formatting problems

If you create a new blank document, what is the font in that document? I
think if you change the default font in the normal template to Times New
Roman, that font should be used in the letters

I am using Word 2007. I tried using the procedure described in
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

A really handy procedure - thanks!

I got the different letters in different files, BUT the formatting was
wrong. It used "Calibri" as font instead of "Times New Roman" and also
some
other changes I belive. I have set "Times New Roman" as default font. It
made
the letters 11 pages long instead of 7. I do not have this formatting
problem
when using the standard mail merge.

Why is this happening and how can I prevent it for happening?

Thanks in advance!

To create the attachments, you may want to use one of the methods in
the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to
Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.

I need to send a personalised email to 150 odd recipients with two
personalised Word attachments. How do I do it all with one email?
