I recently learned (very happily, I might add) to edit a mail merge field to
include text before or after that field. Another fabulous feature is that
the text will not appear if there is no data in the datasource for that
particular record. This is a very cool feature. (office 2003)

However, I want to format both the text that is before the field and the
actual data in the field (one would be bold and one would be italics)
When I change the info in my form, it looks good, but when I do the merge,
all of the formatting disappears. If I italicize the information in the
data source document , it looses it's formatting as well.

any ideas?

thanks
