When I use MERGEFORMAT I'm not able to type in the full (legal) customer name.

Mergeformat is a formatting switch and has nothing to do with the field
content. What exactly are you trying to do?

I need help with a template using ASK and MERGEFORMAT - I have created a
template from one that works but there are two fields that lose their
formatting part way through the text and I can't seem to figure out why.

ASK fields throw up an input box into which you can type loads of text (255
characters). The mergeformat switch is irrelevant as an ASK field doesn't
display in the document. It merely assigns content to a bookmark.

If you have a field that loses its formatting with respect to the
surrounding text, use a charformat switch rather than a mergeformat switch.
