Formatting a Single Field in MailMerge word 07

J

Jamie

Using Word 07, I'm doing a Mailmerge to create labels. In trying to create
labels, I am inserting individual fields from my database. I want to make
the first line much larger than the rest of the label. I tried selecting the
field, and changing the size. However, whenever I do the merge, it converts
back to the oringinal formatting. Any way around this?

If the first line represents different merge fields from the rest, you
should be able to accomplish this with a \* MERGEFORMAT or \* Charformat
switch. If you've used the Address Block field for the entire thing, then
you may not be able to accomplish this without using the individual
component fields (FirstName, LastName, etc.), which is what it sounds like
you're doing.
