format of merged text
Hi HappyCampDirector,
You're probably getting this result because that formatting is what the underlying paragraph format has (possibly via a paragraph Style). You can impose a different format by editing the mergefield. To do this: .. select the mergefield and press Shift-F9. You should see something like {MERGEFIELD Data} or {MERGEFIELD Data \* MERGEFORMAT}, where 'Data' is the name of the field in your data source. .. edit the field code so that it reads {MERGEFIELD Data \* CHARFORMAT} .. format the 'M' in 'MERGEFIELD' with the font attributes you desire. .. run your mailmerge. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "HappyCampDirector" wrote in message ... when i merge information from an excel spreadsheet the format changes to bold and caps.
