Recently a friend of mine designed a new letter head for me on her computer, and emailed it to me. I saved it om my computer. Typed my letter in and did a mail merge
Using word 365 / win 11
Font size
Base document has all the font size at 14, yet after mail merge the place holder text smaller size
This is what I googled
Merged Text Changes to a Different Font Style or Size During Mail Merge http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212349 When you perform a mail merge, the merged information may appear in a different font. This behavior occurs when the default Normal style is different from the font applied to your mail merge main document. For example, if you choose Courier as the default font for your Normal style but decide to format the main document using Arial, your text prints in Arial, but the merged fields are printed in a Courier font. Details on link above to change the Normal Style on your Word. But I found that was not always the case! Shown below the details of adding the Parents First Name & the font looks fine at this point
Need someone to explain this to me
