Printing Stickers

[Usapa]

I have Office 2003 installed on 2 computers (both XP Professional). I have to
print individual stickers (one at a time) (Avery 8162) with first line in
bold, second in italics, third regular (resulting from a merge with Access
database).

With my first computer, the printed output is exactly as requested. With the
second,
the output is not: everything becomes bold, or the first line becomes
regular, the second bold, the third italic.

Never had this kind of problem with Office 97...
What is going on? Please help.

Word by default will ignore the formatting from the data source. If these
lines are merge fields then format the three fields as required in the merge
document and add charformat switches to each -

Would it not be simpler to create the labels directly from Access?

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I will sure read carefully the
information you provided.

But isn't it strange that the exact same configuration on 2 different
computers (Word 2003, XP Prof, same merge document) creates 2 differents
output??

Clearly they are not *exactly* the same, but I hesitate to suggest what the
difference in configuration might be.
