Default
A mailmerge cannot access content formatting in the data source. If your colouring is obtained via conditional formatting, you could either:
a) use the same formula in an extra column in your data source to return, say, 1 or 0 as appropriate, then filter the merge by that field; or
b) construct a SKIPIF field in the mailmerge main document with code that applies the same logic as your conditional formatting.
