[comp.windows.ms] WFW Mail-merge question

Hi!

A while ago I was working on getting cover letters for my resumes printed up,
and in doing so, figured out how to deal with print merge, mail merge, whatever.
I had one problem that I couldn't seem to get rid of, however.  The letter that
I was merging into was in 12 point Tms Rmn, and I entered the data in the data
file in 12 point Tms Rmn, but it got merged as 10 point -- the default Normal,
(which I had changed to 13 point).  I tried putting the fields ( {name}, etc...)
in the desired font style, but that had no effect -- had to simply merge to a
second document, then walk thru it, making font changes -- this was fairly easy,
since WFW is mostly a terrific program, but I would like to know how to avoid
this the next time -- if anyone has any advice/tips, they'd be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
