Doing a mailmerge using Word 2000. My datasource is an excel spreadsheet and I'm doing the whole thing and when I'm merging the document it puts in the mergefields as bold. I've checked and in my main document the fields are definitely not bold. Thefields in the spreadsheet is also not bold. Is there some way that it's getting the formatting from somewhere else?

Please advise!
Thanks.

Hit Alt+F9 and make sure the first letter in "MERGEFIELD is not bold.
You also might try:

{ MERGEFIELD city \*charformat }, and format the M in Mergefield to have the format you want.

Although the key combination is a bit arcane, you can remove manually applied formatting by selecting the text, pressing Ctrl + Q to remove paragraph formatting, and then press Ctrl + spacebar to remove character formatting.
