Font on Merged Documents

Question:

C.M. asks -- how can I make my merged document have the same type of lettering for both the original text and the merged information?

Answer:

If you merge from an Access table into a Word mail merge, the font typeface and point size is different for the Word-created verbiage versus the Access-created merge information. This same error can occur using Word-created merge information.

To make all characters the same, do the following on the merged document, after performing the merge.

Click Edit from the menu, choose Select All (to highlight the entire document), click Format on the menu, choose Font, select your Font typeface, select your Size, then press the OK button.
