Hi Robert,

I tried to find a solution to this problem about 2 years ago, and couldn't
find one. You are correct, this is a bug, and Microsoft knows it but won't
fix it.

Did Microsoft say it was a bug, or that it's workign "as designed"?
MergeFormat doesn't take everything into account, just certain formatting
aspects. You may or may not agree with the design, but it's only a bug if it's
not working as it was designed :-)
