I have an Access database that extracts certain records (via a query) into a Word merge document. All fields are clear plain text except one field that I would like to enter HTML codes for formatting etc. I have tried to make this field a text boxor memo but when merged into Word all the codes show. I do not want to publish this as a web page.

Have you tried it from the other end and apply formatting to the merge field?
Why HTML if you're not creating a web page?

The purpose of this Access database is to keep track of and upload EBay items to sell. The export into a Word merge document automates the process of getting all new items into a bulk upload to send to Ebay. Editing this one field in Word to applyHTML would defeat the purpose of automating this task since everything is already entered in Access. As you can see it is not a full Web page. I only want to use basic HTML nothing fancy.
