Maintain field formatting

Large text box fields, such as Issue description, PCO and CCO description of change, and PCO and CCO contract term fields, contain formatting tools that let you use boldface type, numbered or bulleted lists, and other text formats. To preserve this formatting in Microsoft Word templates, you can insert a Word merge field instead of a tag for the field.

To insert a merge field in a Word template, position the cursor, and then go to Insert > Quick parts > Field. From the Field dialog box, select MergeField, and then enter the tag name without the brackets in the Field Properties > Field name field (for example, CCO contract term 1). When a document is generated, Word uses the formatting from the field to format the text.

Refer to the Instructions in the Change templates tags spreadsheet for more information about merge tags.
