I have a table in Word of a specific size (16 rows x 16 columns;
total of 6mm x 9mm) which contains cells (some merged to make larger
size cells) that have many different font formats. This table has a
link to Excel and I wish to mail merge many different fields. My
problem is that when I insert merged fields into my table, the size
of the cells change because of the name of the actual field, not the
value. If I manually enter the actual value there is ample room in
the cell and is size does not change. How do I keep the format of
the cell and prevent its size from increasing when I perform Insert
Merge Fields ? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
