RTF Mail Merge Fields
Hi Vic,
Word's mailmerge facility outputs the source data as displayed, but without any character formatting that may be present in the data
source.
You can, however, apply formatting switches (picture switches in Word parlance) to mergefields to control the output's appearance.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a mail merge and use rtf text fields from a database. These rtf fields contain the formatting instructions
for bolding, bullets, font settings etc. However, the problem I am having is word does not recognize these formatting characters
and prints everything as plain text. My main document is an rtf file.
How can I get word to interpretate these instructions? I am using Word 2002.
Thank you,
Vic
