Hi =?Utf-8?B?UmljaA==?=,
every time I complete a mail merge the font changes to a different font, how
can I stop this?
Click to expand...
The font formatting of the data coming across? Press Alt+F9 to display the
field codes. If you see \* MergeFormat in any of the fields, delete it. Insert
the switch \* CharFormat at the end of all the merge fields. Alt+F9 again to
hide the field codes. Example:

{ Mergefield Name \* CharFormat }

Cindy, thanks I looked for that, but there is no mergeformat. It's weird it
only does where I have the address merge. On on it goes to a georgia font,

Nevermind, I see the charformat has to be on the end of all the fields. How
come it doesn't do that automatically? Is there a way to make that the
default setting?

No. You have to add it. You could I guess create an autocorrect for \*c to
\*charformat that would save a few keystrokes.

Dear Cindy - just want to thank you for you *charformat post this exactly the
problem I was having with regards to *mergeformat not returing the exact
format I wanted.

Thanks
