Message: [QUOTE="Peter Jamieson, post: 5612653"] Yes, we are back to here... In other words, using MERGEFIELD fields loses the most formatting, using REF fields with a Word format data source loses less formatting, using INCLUDETEXTed RTF files generated on the fly /may/ lose less than that (but I wouldn't count on it, because at that point you face all the difficulties of merging two files, each of which may reference its own set of "format definitions" (cf. styles), which may clash in various ways). (and in that case, it may not matter /how/ you insert the RTF, but I guess you have a better chance of controlling the outcome using VB(A)+Word object model than MERGEFIELD/REF fields).
