>>>I have a Word automation to do. I am sending the result in 3 columns. Basically, it's one field in a specific Word font followed by a second field, on the next line, with a smaller font. So, I have defined two fields. This is good as long as I only have record. However, the number of records varies. How can I achieve that task by having a nice report in Word with either 17 records or 100?

If you set up a Catalogue MailMerge it can be over multiple lines that are just repeated ie

<>
<>

Each of the above mereg codes can be of different font/size/bold etc. When run you would get:

Record1.Field1
Record1.Field2
Record2.Field1
Record2.Field2

etc for the number of records merged.
Is this the effect you are after?
If so I find it best to place the <> in a table as that enables easy formatting of the text (you just set the table border off).
