Mail Merge Format Wrong in Merged Document

S

I am creating a mail merge from a word document and no matter how many times
I select the "problematic" field and remove the italics from it, when I go
ahead and click merge, this field comes out italicized in the merged
document. I can't imagine there is no fix for this!

Hi shmeetz,

There are numerous reasons why this might occur, all to do with the formatting of the range into which you inserted the mergefield.
There is a simple solutuion, though:
.. select the field and press Shift-F9 to expose the field code. You should see something like { MERGEFIELD Data } or { MERGEFIELD
Data \* MERGEFORMAT }, where 'Data' is the name of the field in your data source.
.. edit the field code so that you end up with { MERGEFIELD Data \* CHARFORMAT } and the field code formatted with the font
attributes you require.
.. run your mailmerge
