Merging Fields from Excel Source - the Font changes size

L

Linda

In one line on my mail merge document - using the same merge field in other
lines - it changes the font size on only one particular line.

Format the line in your merge document before the merge using a style.
Display the merge field code. Alt-F9.
In the merge field it may say \* MERGEFORMAT.
Change this to \*CHARFORMAT
Format the first character in the field, the "M" using your style.
Press the F9 key.
Press Alt F9.
Try your document with data. Better?
