**Yes. This issue happens because Rich Text fields often contain embedded HTML elements (such as hard paragraph breaks). When this formatted content is merged into a Word document through Apsona, those HTML elements can override the existing Word paragraph style, causing formatting like indents to be lost.
To resolve this, you can use the @no_format tag in the merge field inside your Word template. The @no_format tag strips out embedded HTML formatting (including hard paragraph breaks) and allows the content to flow into the existing Word paragraph style instead of replacing it.
Example:
Instead of using a normal merge field, apply the @no_format tag to the field in the template so the text is merged as plain content without HTML formatting.
This ensures:
Paragraph indents and styles in Word are preserved.
Hard line breaks from the Rich Text field do not disrupt the layout.
The merged output appears consistent with the document’s formatting.**
