Word Merge: Inserted document changes main document margins

Asked by WMorrissey in Microsoft Word

I have a complicated Word Merge doc that brings in other documents like this:

{ If { MERGEFIELD StateAttachment } <> "" "

{IncludeText "{ MERGEFIELD StateAttachment }"}" ""}
 
The mergefield called "StateAttachment" either contains a document path, or is empty.  If it contains a path, the code pulls the document at that path into the merge doc at this point, but if it's empty, nothing prints here.

It works great (thanks to you Experts!)  but there's a problem.  If the StateAttachment doc has different margins than the main doc, it changes the main doc's margins to match.  So if one of the attachments has 1" margins and the main doc has .5" margins, the main doc ends up with 1" margins too.  

I tried to convince the client to just change the margins on all the possible attachment docs, but that was not possible, since these are required by different gov. agencies.  Any ideas how I can resolve this?
