I'm merging names and addresses in a contract and when displaying the result
of a merge, the 2nd and 3rd uses of "Company_Name" display in Times New Roman
8 instead of 12. The font of the field on the document is 12 and the font of
the field in the excel s/s is 12

Add a \* charformat switch the fields and format the M of Mergefield with
the desired font and size.

Actually, a better fix was highliting the paragraph and matching the style
which had been "Body Text" to "Normal + Times New Roman 12"

Thanks for the switch fix though...
