Losing bold and underline with INCLUDETEXT "Kathy Webster" <slickdock[ at ]yahoo.com> 5/9/2007 11:23:18 PM I am so so so tired of trying to do something that should be so simple... My merge document has the following: Yada yada {INCLUDETEXT "c:\\morestuff.doc" \* MERGEFORMAT} Bla bla. My "c:\morestuff.doc" has the following: Hoodie hoodie [bold and underlined word] yuk yuk. When the merge is executed, result is: Yada yada Hoodie hoodie [word NO LONGER BOLD OR UNDERLINED] yuk yuk. Bla bla. Please help, while I'm still young. Also, I tried setting bold and underline with styles, and that was a dee-zaster, too. Kathy

RE: Losing bold and underline with INCLUDETEXT Bear 5/10/2007 3:04:02 PM Kathy: In Word 2000 I performed a simple experiment, using two versions of the field code: { INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Tests\\subbie.doc" \* mergeformat } { INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Tests\\subbie.doc" } In my case, it was the \* MergeFormat switch that was obliterating the bold and underline in subbie.doc. Try deleting that part of your field and see what happens when you update the field (F9).

Re: Losing bold and underline with INCLUDETEXT "Peter Jamieson" <pjj[ at ]KillmapSpjjnet.demon.co.uk> 5/11/2007 2:09:35 AM There may be other ways, but... If you are posting/viewing your messages via te Microsoft communities (www.microsoft.com/communities ) then you are probably seeing a 3-column layout titled "Office Online". The 3rd column hwould typically have the message you have currently selected, and at the bottom of that you would see a thing saying "Was this post helpful to you" and a link to "Why should I rate a post>" If you happen to be using Windows Vista "Windows Mail", there is another mechanism that allows you to rate a post. However, this is just one of many web-based interfaces to what used to be known as the "Usenet Newsgroups" or "NNTP Newsgroups", and there may be other rating systems. Since I don't think any Microsoft employee has ever posted a response in this particular newsgroup in the entire time (say 5 years) I've been posting here, and the name they have in their "communities" does not actually match the name of the "NNTP" newsgroup, it's slightly bizarre that they maintain a rating system, but there you go...
