Word Merge - Format Output with Double Spacing - Switch??
Hi There...
It seems to me that this should be an easy thing to figure out - but it's got me stumped! I am using Mail Merge with an Excel data source. One of my fields contains multiple lines in one cell in Excel, separated by CRLF. ie., Cell A - Text #1 - Text #2 - Text #3 - Text #4 I would like each line in this Mergefield to be double-spaced in my Word file. I've tried: - Double-spacing the data in my data source but that doesn't carry to my word doc. - Highlighting the field in word and setting the spacing to double, but only the first line outputs as double-spaced, with the lines following it being single-spaced. - Looking for a switch to do the job but I can't seem to find anything. Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers, -p |

Apply a double spaced style to the field and add a \*charformat switch to
ensure it is used. http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ocbarney wrote: Hi There...
