Default Printing Stickers

Word by default will ignore the formatting from the data source. If these
lines are merge fields then format the three fields as required in the merge
document and add charformat switches to each -

Would it not be simpler to create the labels directly from Access?

I have Office 2003 installed on 2 computers (both XP Professional). I
have to print individual stickers (one at a time) (Avery 8162) with
first line in bold, second in italics, third regular (resulting from
a merge with Access database).

With my first computer, the printed output is exactly as requested.
With the second,
the output is not: everything becomes bold, or the first line becomes
regular, the second bold, the third italic.

Never had this kind of problem with Office 97...
What is going on? Please help.
