Formatting bookmarked cell of a table

[Constantine]

Hi. I have data in one part of a document that is
referenced also to a cell of a table (same information
repeated). The source is 12pt font and where I want it
in the table needs to be smaller 9 pt font...I have
highlighted the cell where the copied data is to appear
and change the font to 9 pt. -- when I update the cell
after putting new data in the source bookmark I get a
portion that is 9 pt and a portion that is 12 point. It
seems to revert back to the 12 pt. if the source
information is longer than the width of the cell and
wraps to the next line.... Is there any way to do this
without having to unprotect my template highlight it and
change the font? Oh also, I have unchecked the preserve
format.

Thanks

Press Alt+F9 to view the field codes. I assume where you
want to display the content a second time you'll see a REF
field that references the bookmark? And, since you
unchecked "preserve format", there should be no \*
MergeFormat switch?

If there is, change that to \* CharFormat
If there is not, insert \* CharFormat at the end of the
field, after the last bit of field code, before the closing
} bracket.
