Refreshing query with MS Access datasource

[fishy]

I have created a query in Word to a MS Access data source. I have formated
the table the way I would like it. When I refresh the data using F9, all of
the table formatting goes away. I use this type of query in Excel alot and
don't understand why it seems so difficult in Word. What am I doing wrong?

Which version of Word are you using?

When you press Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes, you should see that the
link to the Access data is maintained by a DATABASE field. At the very end of
the field, do you see \* MergeFormat, or not?
