Format of document when merging into email

[LB]

I am using Word and Outlook 2003 with SP3 installed.

I have created a mail merge document that I am trying to send via Outlook.
Everything work fine, except for the formatting. Two issues:

1. When I send myself a test message, the font changes in two places. I
have verified all fonts in the original Word document, and they are the same
throughout.

2. The first half of the document is fine, but about half-way through, the
beginning of the sentences are cut-off. I can fix this by moving them over
in the original word document, but does anyone know why this occurs?

Can anyone help with these issues?

Thanks!

If you are concerned about the appearance of the document, send it as an
attachment

See the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

To create individual documents to be used a attachments for each message see
the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.
