Hi Welshie,

To control the mailmerge string formatting, add a 'Charformat' picture switch to the mergefield as follows:
• select the mergefield;
• press Shift-F9 to expose the field coding. It should look something like {MERGEFIELD Case_BC_I1_13}, where 'Case_BC_I1_13' is your data field's name;
• delete everything between 'Case_BC_I1_13' and the closing field brace;
• add ' \* Charformat' after 'Case_BC_I1_13', so that you end up with {MERGEFIELD Case_BC_I1_13 \* Charformat};
• format at least the 'M' in 'MERGEFIELD' with the font attributes you want;
• position the cursor anywhere in the field and press F9 to update it.
• run your mailmerge.
