Unfortunately rtf formatting codes just don't get through to Word during a
merge, and there is no really simple solution to this problem. The most
straightforward approach is to export each RTF field to a file that has a
name that is somehow related to key columns in the record (e.g. if you have
a table with an ID field called ID with values 1,2,3,4, export your rtf
field to files called rtf1.rtf, rtf2.rtf etc., then use a nested INCLUDETEXT
field to include the rtf files:
{ INCLUDETEXT "c:\\whatver\\rtf{ MERGEFIELD ID }.rtf" }

Hi, I am merging a rich text formatted Memo field from Access 07 into
Word.
The actual FORMATdoes not come across into Word, but the CODE for the
formatting only e.g. normal text bold on bold text bold off normal
text,... which reminds me of Website coding....
Does anyone know how to either bring the original format across, or how to
do something to the Word Document, so it converts the format code into
actual
formatting? Help would be sooo apreciated, Lara
