Default MERGEFORMAT problem

Thanks.

I did it here the normal way I do - no switch it is fine.
Either MERGEFORMAT or CHARFORMAT aslo produce correct results here. Maybe
it's the customer's print setup - a printer share through an AS/400 on an
old Proprinter.

Either omit the mergeformat switch, or change it to a charformat switch.

Hi all.

Word 2002
Windows 2000

Here is my problem.
I create a mailmerge document that uses MS query to connect to the
data.
I then format the field with the font I want and add the \*MERGEFORMAT
switch. This works fine if the field I have consists of one word.
If I have two or more words in the merged data the first word is
good, but the 2nd and next words will not carry the same formatting.
Is this a problem, a feature, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Frank
