Some of the fonts brought into mailmerge fields display as specified in the
database, but others do not. These incorrect fonts in the output table do not
respond to attempts to change them. Any advice?

In the mail merge main document, press Alt+F9 to display the field codes. If
you see \* MergeFormat in any of the fields, delete it. Insert a \*
CharFormat switch at the end of all the merge fields. Press Alt+F9 again to
hide the field codes. See the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
website:
