subject: Mail merge problem with Word

Hi All , hope you are having a nice day
I have a small problem with an macro, which I have designed to work under
Word 6.0 and 7.0. The word macro merges the data all right, but very offen
my clients have added som text formatings to the client name, adress and so
on (which are the merge fields), but the formating of the fields are lost
during the merging process. Also I have had some complains about that some
'dead areas' (areas where the put something like "fill in here the purpos
of letter" are dissappearing.
The merging process goes as follows :
1) converting the text file into a file format, which Word accepts as an
   source for the merge process - the text file is 'one field on each line'
   formated and the output is the same data but setup in a table within
   the Word document.
2) the tabled data is now merged into the merge letter and the letter is
   saved back to the system in a different name.
If you need to see my macro in more detail to help me with my problem, I
will be happy to post it to anyone asking for it.
Please send any post by NetMail or by E-mail to fknudsen@writeme.com.
Thanks.
