How Can I keep Word from changing fonts on a Mail Merge

I created a Word 2000 document using Times New Roman (12) font. I inserted
merge fields in Times New Roman (12) font. When I merge from an Excel file
with fields in Times New Roman (12) font, they are inserted into the output
document in Currier New (10) font making the final document look rediculous.
How can I get Word to keep the font I selected instead of selecting it's own
font?
 
Add a \* MergeFormat or \* CharFormat switch to the merge field and format
the field as desired.
