Add mergeformat to mergefields

GemBox.Document
1

Hello,

I want to generate a Word document and add some mergefields to it.
When I manually add merge fields via Word to the document, I can select ‘Preserve formatting during updates’, so the existing formatting will be preserved.

Is it possible to add the ‘MERGEFORMAT’ when a document is created via code?

Hi Joeri,

Yes, try this:

new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "ContractID \\* MERGEFORMAT", "«ContractID»")

Does this solve your issue?

Also, just as an FYI, note that GemBox.Document’s mail merge process will preserve the formatting even when the MERGEFIELD doesn’t have that switch.

Mario
