Look into IF fields.
{ IF bookmark1="hello" "It was found" "Not found" }
The IncludeText field pulls text from another file.
Note, you cannot just type the braces {}. You can use Ctrl-F9 to insert them
or use Insert Field...

Hello. I'm very new at Word programming. I am a .NET programmer trying
to
figure some stuff out in Word. Here is basically what I want to do:
I have a bookmark in a doc and I want to do something like this:
If [bookmark1] = "hello" Then
INCLUDETEXT = "It was found"
Else
INCLUDETEXT = "Not found"
End If
I know that is NOT how it is coded, but I need help getting started on
this.
Thanks!
