Re: Losing bold and underline w/INCLUDETEXT fields

Thanks, I checked that and its not the case. But even if it was the case,
if I specifically indicate that a mergefield within a paragraph should have
a specific format, one would think it would override a style code of a
paragraph. :-|

One thing to check here is that you are not using the same paragraph style
name in your main and sub, but with different style definitions. Although
Word uses some combination of the styles and formatting in the main
document, the styles and formatting inthe subdocument, and the formatting
applied to the field, I really couldn't tell you what the rules are
exactly.

I'm using the INCLUDETEXT command within a merge document to call in a
subdoc while merging. The subdoc also contains merge fields, ie,
{MERGEFIELD Lastname}. Although the {MERGEFIELD Lastname} field is bold
and underlined in the subdoc, when it merges into the final product, the
bold and underline are gone. I've tried \*mergeformat and \*charformat
with no success.

Can I get some help?
Thanks.
