When doing a mail merge that uses includetext to merge a
second and third file, the mergeformat causes erratic
formatting on the second and third file. The erratic
formatting is not happening on the field but in random
locations throughout the document.

Anyone else experience this?
Simply removed \* mergeformat and the random formatting
stopped.

A number of people have reported similar problems and removing \*mergeformat
seems to get rid of at least some of them. When you consider what
\*mergeformat is trying to do (merge the data in using the /existing
formatting/) then it isn't a huge surprise that it does not work very well
for inclusions. Personally, I would rather it was not included by default
when fields are inserted.
