Font changes when merging
I need help.
My main and source documents are both in 12pt. When I merge them, 3 of the 6 merge fields come in at 11pt making my letter look odd. If I try to manually edit each letter and thn look back at the previous page it has changed itself back to 11pt. HELP |

First, use alt-F9 to view the underlying field codes ({ MERGEFIELD myfield }
etc.) and delete any \*Mergeformat switches. Then try again. If you are still seeing problems, try inserting \*Charformat switches instead, and ensuring you format the beginning of your fields with the font size etc. that you want (i.e. format the M in MERGEFIELD and any space between the { and the M ) Peter Jamieson "guy" wrote in message ...

Hi ?B?Z3V5?=,
My main and source documents are both in 12pt. When I merge them, 3 of the 6 merge fields come in at 11pt making my letter look odd. If I try to manually edit each letter and thn look back at the previous page it has changed itself back to 11pt. Press Alt+F9 to toggle the field codes on. Type a \* CharFormat switch at the end of each one, and if there's a \* Mergeformat switch, remove it. Roughly: { Mergefield LastName \* CharFormat } Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
