I am not sure this has anything to do with Word Fields and Mailmerge, which
is the topic of this grop, but...
a. in my experience, e-tickets are generally either plain text e-mails or
HTML format emails.
b. in that case,
- anyone should be able to open and print them just using their e-mail
software or a browser (which is why they are sent in tht format)
- if you are opening your e-tickets in Outlook, you probably need to ask
this question in an Outlook group
- if you are opening them in something else (e.g. Outlook Express or
Windows Mail), that application should be able to do the formatting on its
own.
- if you have to open an attachment, can you see what the extension of
the attachment is (.htm, .doc, .pdf, ...) ? When you try to open them, are
they opening in Word? Or what?
That said, I have had airline e-tickets that are clearly not formatted in a
way that makes them easy to print on A4 or US Letter paper.
