mail merge changes my font
In the Mail Merge main document, press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of
the field codes and insert
\* charformat
inside the closing }. Then apply the desired formatting to the M of
MERGEFIELD.
Use Alt+F9 again to toggle of the display of the field codes and when you
execute your merge the formatting of the data will be whatever you applied
to the M.

...
I am mail merging in Word from and Excel list. I format all the the text
in
the Word document to be Times New Roman 12 pt, but when I complete the
merge,
the field names that were merged come in with Garamond 10 pt. I made sure
the merged field names (place holders) in the Word document were formatted
correctly, but it still doesn't work. I've had this problem with a
computer
a few years ago, and I seem to remember I had to download some kind of
font... but can't remember exactly what I need to do. Any help???
