Losing bold and underline with INCLUDETEXT
I am so so so tired of trying to do something that should be so simple...
My merge document has the following: Yada yada {INCLUDETEXT "c:\\morestuff.doc" \* MERGEFORMAT} Bla bla. My "c:\morestuff.doc" has the following: Hoodie hoodie [bold and underlined word] yuk yuk. When the merge is executed, result is: Yada yada Hoodie hoodie [word NO LONGER BOLD OR UNDERLINED] yuk yuk. Bla bla. Please help, while I'm still young. Also, I tried setting bold and underline with styles, and that was a dee-zaster, too. Kathy |

Losing bold and underline with INCLUDETEXT
Kathy:
In Word 2000 I performed a simple experiment, using two versions of the field code: { INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Tests\\subbie.doc" \* mergeformat } { INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Tests\\subbie.doc" } In my case, it was the \* MergeFormat switch that was obliterating the bold and underline in subbie.doc. Try deleting that part of your field and see what happens when you update the field (F9).

There may be other ways, but...
If you are posting/viewing your messages via te Microsoft communities (www.microsoft.com/communities ) then you are probably seeing a 3-column layout titled "Office Online". The 3rd column hwould typically have the message you have currently selected, and at the bottom of that you would see a thing saying "Was this post helpful to you" and a link to "Why should I rate a post" If you happen to be using Windows Vista "Windows Mail", there is another mechanism that allows you to rate a post. However, this is just one of many web-based interfaces to what used to be known as the "Usenet Newsgroups" or "NNTP Newsgroups", and there may be other rating systems. Since I don't think any Microsoft employee has ever posted a response in this particular newsgroup in the entire time (say 5 years) I've been posting here, and the name they have in their "communities" does not actually match the name of the "NNTP" newsgroup, it's slightly bizarre that they maintain a rating system, but there you go...
