I have trying to get this suggestion to work from mvps.org:

this suggestion is to keep Rich Text when creating a merge document.

Display the field codes and remove word "mergefield" from the field, leaving
only the field name. In the example, the content come out with filed Remarks
as Arial, and yellow.
Example: { Remarks }

I am using office 2007 with data stored in access as a rich text memo field
and merging into a word document. I have tried changing my data source from
an actual table in access to an html document, a RTF document, excel
spreadsheet, and a docx based off the html document.

obviously a lot of people would like to seea rich text merge field so if i
can get this to work maybe i can then help others.
