Default Error in word mailmerge, it source is Ms Access's richtext filed.

My point is "want to insert data with text formatting in Access, and use
that data in word mailmerging."


Formatting stored in fields in a data source either do not reach Word or
(where they contain HTML format tags or RTF codes) are not interpreted in
the way you might hope by Word.

If the data is in either HTML or RTF format, your best bet is probably to
export the data from each field (e.g. using Access VBA) into a separate file
with a .htm/.rtf extension, then use a nested INCLUDETEXT field to include
the file.

I've Access database file, in which one table has richtext field inputting
data with leban's. When I use msword's mailmerge, database source to that
access file,
Notice that all are well, but that richtext filed show only some digits.

As far as surf on web, no answer found.
May be richtext filed don't support in word mailmerge.
Looking for the workaround.

My point is "want to insert data with text formatting in Access, and use

Thanks in advance.
