You can use them both, but you have to put the \# switch first.

Hi Guys

This { MERGEFIELD "Data_Source" \# "$,0.00;($,0.00)" } will merge a number
from an excel data source and format it as currency.

This { Mergefield "Data_Source" \* CharFormat } I have been informed will
make sure the data will be displayed in the correct font.

The big question that I havent found an answer for is can the two be used
together in a word field to ensure correct currency format AND font
format?
