I have a mailmerge document set up with an Excel datasource.
The two are linked via a DDE connection in order to preserve the formatting held within Excel (background to achieve this was found in thread68-1341696).
Problem is, it's not working!
The mergefields are being linked without the Excel formatting in place, are underlined (no idea why!) and the font has changed. The font being adopted is not used in either the word doc or the spreadsheet so no idea where this is coming from.
It is possible to change the formatting of each individual mergefield one at a time simply using Word's formatting menu / toolbar, but once I view mergefields and change back to view the data all the formatting changes are lost.
Any suggestions / insight gratefully received!
Cheers
