How to embed Control Characters into data feeding a merge field.

[Guest]

I have posted this in Word Mailmerge forum but because data in a DB needs to
be altered they may not understand. Also I have searched everywhere on the
net but may be using incorrect nomenclature.

"I have a merge field that gets fed text type data from a database.

Somewhere within the text source I want to say highlight a PORTION by making
it bold (note - NOT the whole field). What control characters do I embed? Is
there a list of other control chars. say italic etc."

By control chars I mean special chars that control font attributes etc.
Hope I am clear here.
