Just started using Office 2003 upgrade in a merge. Not sure I am liking it.
Question 1: The merge fields show up with a shaded background. I have gone
to the tools and under options, view, field codes, field shading and have
changed it to never but it still comes up shaded and even prints as shaded.
I can stand looking at it shaded but not printing as such. How do I get to
turn the shading off? I have even put the shading in borders to none also.

Questions 2: Also the font is a 12 in the letter and in the database is a 10
but when I merge it is now a 12 for the letter but the merge fields are a 10.
I want all 12. If I change the database to 12 it still is 10. If I change
the form letter all to 12 it still is a 10 in the merge fields. How do I get
everything to change to all 12 and stay that way. If I do the merge and
change the mergered letter to 12 it will only do the first record and the
other records are gone.

Question 3: In older versions of word when I merged it asked me if I wanted
to save as a new document. Now it just saves over the template and will not
leave me with a record of the old one. Any ideas. If I do a save as then
when I open it up it leaves me with a merge again. If I say no to the SQl
command it opens only one record not as many as the merge should have. Any
ideas on how to save to a new document? Thanks
