Default Why does my font change in a mail merge?

I'm using Word 2003 and my letter, fields and data base all contain Arial 10,
but when I merge to a new document the merged fields do not remain as Arial
10, but another font.

Any suggestions?

BTW, I cannot select all and change to font since there are some bold fonts
and larger titles. Maybe I have to change something within Tools?

Thanks in advance

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes and inside the
closing } of the merge fields, add \* CHARFORMAT (replacing \* MERGEFORMAT
if it is there) and then apply the desired formatting to the M of {
MERGEFIELD
