Can you italicize a mail merge field in google docs
In Google Docs, you can italicize a mail merge field by surrounding it with single asterisks (*
) or HTML tags.
Method 1: Using single asterisks
- Insert the mail merge field in your document.
- Select the field by clicking on it.
- Go to the "Format" menu and select "Text" > "Italic".
- Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + I
(Windows) orCmd + I
(Mac) to italicize the text.
Method 2: Using HTML tags
- Insert the mail merge field in your document.
- Select the field by clicking on it.
- Use the following HTML code to italicize the field:
<i>{{ merge field }}</i>
- Replace
{{ merge field }}
with the actual mail merge field name.
For example, if your mail merge field is named "Name", you would use the following code: <i>{{ Name }}</i>
Note that the HTML method requires you to use the exact syntax, including the opening and closing tags (<i>
) and the field name enclosed in double curly braces ({{ }}
).
Both methods should italicize the mail merge field in your Google Doc.
