Default dynamically formatting text color in mail merge

Well, thanks anyway, but that won't help. I could easily highlight the
fields with a color and get the same result, but I need something more
dynamic.

I guess it can't be done.

Thanks again.

If you want (say) titlefirstnamelastnamesuffix formatted in
a colour, then toggle the fields
(ALT+F9) to display
{Mergefield title}{Mergefield firstname} {Mergefield lastname}{Mergefield
suffix}
add a Charformat switch to each eg
{Mergefield title \*Charformat}{Mergefield firstname \*Charformat}
{Mergefield lastname \*Charformat}{Mergefield suffix \*Charformat} and
format the fields in the colour you require.
You will not be able to format the same fields in different colours
according to the dictates of the individual record formatting in Excel.
