I am using Word 97 SR-1 and importing 3 fields per label from Excel 97
Account, Route, Name

I can format each individual merge field using the font option but they do
not save.

{MERGEFIELD Account} {MERGEFIELD Route}
{MERGEFIELD Name}

{Next Record}{MERGEFIELD Account} {MERGEFIELD Route}
{MERGEFIELD Name}

How can set font formats for the various field to apply to the entire merge.

In other words I would like a different Font format for Account, different
for Route, and different for Name and then have it apply to every label in
the merge.

I have been able to get a font formatting to stick for {Account} on the
first Label for example but not any of the others.

Lost newbie. I would be happy to read a URL or a previous post if someone
can point me in the correct direction.

Hi Lost Newbie,

Add a \CHARFORMAT switch to the fields and apply the formatting that you
want to the letter M of MERGEFIELD

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
