Preserving Bold formating in Excel into the Word Merge
Our datasource is an excel worksheet. We want the fomatting, including bold
to come over into the Word document upon merging. We have not been able to find a way to preserve the bold from Excel into Word. Any ideas out there? We are in a hurry for this one... |

Preserving Bold formating in Excel into the Word Merge
In essence, that kind of formatting does not come across using MailMerge.
As long as your worksheet does not have more than 63 columns, you can try a. selecting it, edit|copy b. edit|Paste special into a Word document in a format that preserves the formatting c. use that as the data source c. when you insert { MERGEFIELD } fields into your Mail Merge Main Document, where you want the formatting, change e.g. { MERGEFIELD mycolumn } to { REF mycolumn } or { mycolumn } This is unsupported, relies on very old Word behaviour, and is probably not a good long-term choice, even if it works for you.
