Hi to all,

I never ever use the \* MERGEFORMAT switch in e.g. { REF } fields, I use \* CHARFORMAT instead.

But if whatever character formatting is applied, Word adds the \* MERGEFORMAT switch - even in addition to an existing \* CHARFORMAT. I really never noticed that before .

In the undo list the last two steps (in reverse order) are 1. "Character formatting" and 2. "Update automatically" (maybe the English terms are slightly different).

Undo "Update automatically" removes the inserted \* MERGEFORMAT.

As I do not like to have any \* MERGEFORMAT switch in my documents my question: Can I stop Word from inserting that stupid switch?

Thanks in advance
