Formatting fields containing data from Access

[CDM]

I created a field using <ctrl> <F9> and inserted the name of the Access
textbox; ie, {txtName}. The data shows up, but I can't seem to change the
font style or size by highlighting "txtName" and going through the format
buttons. The output is always the same. Any ideas?

I assume that what you have is { MERGEFIELD txtName } modify it by the
addition of a \* charformat switch so that it looks like

{ MERGEFIELD txtName \* charformat }

and then apply the desired formatting to the M of MERGEFIELD.
