Default Catalog Merge fields come as Plain Text, but datasource is Rich Te

In creating a Publisher Catalog Merge template, I have an MS Access 2007
database, with a product decription field that is a Memo field, with Rich
Text formatting.
When I import the field into the Catalog Merge Template the field comes over
as Plain Text. The formatting information shows a HTML Tags.
Example : "Product Description" shows the quote marks as
"Product Description"
Any ideas? I can't see any format options in Publisher 2007 to allow me to
keep the RTF format.

I suggest you create a new publication from the catalog merge and save that
result as a .rtf. (Step 3).
