Editing the font of text inserted before a merge field
Hi all,
I have what seems to me to be a simple question, but haven't been able to figure it out. I have the following mail merge field shown below: { MERGEFIELD Owner_Address \b "of " }{IF {MERGEFIELD Owner_Address} = "" ""} All I want to do is change the font of the "of" so it is different from the rest fo the merge field. The merge field is Courier New and I want the "of" to be in Times New Roman. Thanks. |

Hi clawschieff,
Using the \b switch doesn't allow you to specifiy a different font from the mergefield. You can use a field construction like: {IF {MERGEFIELD Owner_Address} <> "" " of {MERGEFIELD Owner_Address}"} with the 'of' formatted in a different font.

Form Field partial formatting
Hi there
I have the same type of problem but the solution is not working. I am merging employee details as they appear on the business cards. If there is a Fax number I want F in front of the merge field in Bold. If there is no Fax Number in the excel sheet the Field is left out on the completed merged document. Only the F must be in bold and not the actual number. Below is my merge field: { MERGEFIELD Fax_Number \b "F " \* MERGEFORMAT } With this the F is not in bold. Please can you help? |

Hi GretaM,
The solution I posted in #2 above applies equally to your situation.

Thanks for your reply. I did try the solution as in #2 but it didn't work.
{IF {MERGEFIELD Fax_Number} <> "" " F {MERGEFIELD Fax_Number}"} It seems like i am going wrong somewhere and will keep trying. Beyond frustrated |
