Format field results

• Select the field you want to format, and then apply the formatting by using the Formatting toolbar.

  For example, to underline the name inserted by an AUTHOR field, select the field code, and then click Underline on the Formatting toolbar.

Note  If you update a field, formatting you apply directly to the field results may be lost. To retain the formatting, include the \* MERGEFORMAT switch in the field code. Microsoft Word includes this switch if you insert a field by using the Field command on the Insert menu and select the Preserve formatting during updates check box.

1. Right-click the field, and then click Edit Field.
2. Do one of the following:
   • If Field properties and Field options are displayed, select the formatting options you want.
   • If only the field code is displayed, click Options, and then select the formatting options you want.

     If the Options button appears dimmed, additional formatting options may not be available.
