How do I format cross reference fonts differently from the origin.

Here's the problem: The original form field is a certain size and format.
Later in the document, where I'm inserting the cross reference as a bookmark,
it retains the original format, but I need it in a different size elsewhere
in the document. Sometimes, if the original data is more than one word, the
words appears in the cross referenced location(s) in 2 different sizes.

Hi Astrojet,

Unprotect the form, toggle the field code of the cross-reference field
(Shift+F9), and insert the switch
\* CHARFORMAT
If there's already a MERGEFORMAT switch there, remove it. Then hit F9
to update the field, and reprotect the form.

The CHARFORMAT switch formats the field result to match the formatting
of the first character of the field code -- in this case, the R in the
keyword REF -- regardless of the formatting of the source.
