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

  1. Insert the mail merge field in your document.
  2. Select the field by clicking on it.
  3. Go to the "Format" menu and select "Text" > "Italic".
  4. Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + I (Windows) or Cmd + I (Mac) to italicize the text.

Method 2: Using HTML tags

  1. Insert the mail merge field in your document.
  2. Select the field by clicking on it.
  3. Use the following HTML code to italicize the field: <i>{{ merge field }}</i>
  4. 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.
