Word 2007 - Mail Merge Font Size Issue
I have a Word merge file with merge fields from an Excel file. both thee
word file and the excel file are using the save font/size Candara 11. Below are the fields. The Namd Address stuff is Centererd but other than that this is an accurate view. Dues: «Amount_for_Mailing» «PREFIX» «FIRST_NAME» «LAST_NAME», «TITLE» «COMPANY» «ADDRESS_1» «CITY», «STATE_PROVINCE» «ZIP» When I select each merge field individually they show the correct font/size. When I do the merge and/or preview - the font size changes to 12. I've deleted the entire merge and recreated it. Still same result. Anyone have a clue or know what I'm doing wrong? Office Pro 2007 all lateset patches. I think? Thanks John |

Word 2007 - Mail Merge Font Size Issue
Hi John,
Try pressing Alt-F9 to expose the field coding. Your mergefields will look somthing like { MERGEFIELD Sourcefield }. If there are any '\* Mergeformat' strings in the fields, delete those strings. Then select all the mergefields and re-format their font attaributes to ensure all are set to Candara 11. Then press Alt-F9 again and run your mailmerge. If that doesn't solve the problem, press Alt-F9 again and add '\* Charformat' (without the quotes) to the end of each mergefield. Then press Alt-F9 again and run the mailmerge. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "JohnH" wrote in message ...
