Font Problem
Hi There
I am using Windows XP with Office Professional 2003. In Word 2003 I have created a mail merge with data from an Access 2003 database. The mail merge is successful, but with one slight problem. When I create the document and insert a field the font is Arial (this is what I want). However when I preview or print the document in mail merge the inserted fields always go to Times New Roman font. I have selected all the text in the whole document and converted it to Arial. And again when I insert a field it is indeed Arial. However when I view the document as a mail merge the inserted fields go back to Times New Roman! Any help or advice offered will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. -- Kind Regards |

Font Problem
Try the following:
Use Alt-F9 to display the mail merge fields in your document. You wil probably see field s such as { MAILMERGE myfield \*mergeformat } First, try deleting all the "\*mergeformat" texts, select all the text and apply the font and type size you want, then merge again. If that does not work, a. select the "M" at tthe beginning of each MAILMERGE field, and apply the character formatting you want - Arial, in the pint size you want/ b. instead of \*mergeformat, type \*charformat Try again.

Hi There
The instruction for inputting "\*charformat" at the end of the formula resolved the issue. Many thanks indeed for your expert help! Kind Regards Ady "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ...
