  • This works great except that the font changes in part of my documents - some of it is in Times New Roman 12 and other portions are in Calibri 12. The main document and the data source are both in Times New Roman 12. I can't seem to figure out why that would happen.

  • I tried the process above, bur it created 2 pages (2nd page is blank) after mail-merged. I tried to delete the page break and reset the margin, but the files still contain 2 page.
