Default unwanted formatting (Word 2007)

Toggle the field display - ALT+F9 - in your merge document and the fields
will change from Fieldname to {Mergefield Fieldname} add a charformat
switch eg

{Mergefield Fieldname \*Charformat} then press F9 to update the field. Do
the same for all the fields that display incorrectly. Then toggle the
display back again ALT+F9 and re-merge.

Hello,
I have a template in Word 2007 that does a mailmerge with a .CSV file.
The CSV file contains fields with document names (p.e. "ST 900.docx").
During the merge, the contents of these small documents is inserted.
The documents are made in Courier 12.
The template is also in Courier 12 and the default font in Normal.dotx
is also Courier 12.

After the merge, in the "output" document, the layout of the inserted
text is completely messed up:
in one line the font changes from Courier to Times New Roman and back
and the text will be bold where it is not in the inserted documents.
Also, indentation is not kept the way it was in the original imported
documents.

What can be the cause of this behavior and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks for your help!
