MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2004Word mail merge - different fonts
I have a master document which I'm using basic mail merge. I built the source file and defined the variables in the master document. When I merge the document, the variable text prints at a larger font than the default text in the master document. In other words, the default text is Arial 10 font and the text of the substituted data variable prints at Arial 12. How can I change the variable font to be consistent with the rest of the master document? Thanks very much. Tony Are the fonts the same in both your document and the source file? Does changing the font in your source file cause a corresponding change for your data items in your merged document? > I have a master document which I'm using basic mail > merge.

I haven't changed the User Sources File defintions in any way. I highlight the variable within the master document and verify that it has the same font and size as the surrounding text. When I change the font for the default text in the master document "across the board" for the entire document, the variable substituted text also changes, but not to the same font as the default text. So, if the default text was changed to Arial 8, the variable substituted text would print at Arial 10 >-----Original Message----- >Are the fonts the same in both your document and the source file?

Select the field and press ALT+F9 You will see something like {Mergefield Fieldname} or maybe {Mergefield Fieldname \*mergeformat} change the mergeformat switch to charformat or add the charformat switch to the first example. Press F9 to update and if necessary ALT+F9 to redisplay the content.
