Using MS Word 2000 to create a Mail Merge form letter.
Pulling my data from an Excel spreadsheet, it italicizes the <<first name>> <<last name>> fields.
The only way around this is to move the line farther down on the page, which trashes the layout.
Any ideas?

Have you definitely tried highlighting those fields, then right-clicking to get into the Font menu and unitalicize them?

sle,
thanks for your quick reply, sorry I was not so prompt.
Yes, I tried highlighting and un-italicizing with all my might for about 2 days, no luck.
I have since done a new layout on the form that solves this issue, and filed this away in my "OH YEAH" folder for MS Word 2000 Mail Merge.

No worries.

filed this away in my "OH YEAH" folder for MS Word 2000 Mail Merge.

Funny. Glad you found a workaround.
