Default Automation using IF statements

Thanks Jay, by saying I need to convert each of the bookmark names into a
field- I assumed when I created the text form field originally, they already
were fields?
I typed in your formula and received the results {Text10}?
Am I missing a step?
Thanks again

If text76= "" Text10 Text76- it returns the bookmark name Text76 not the
information contained in the cell. Any suggestions?


You need to convert each of the bookmark names into a field (actually
a Ref field, but the keyword Ref is optional) nested inside the IF
field.

Select each bookmark name in turn, and press Ctrl+F9. The final
result, before collapsing the field code, should look like

{If {text76} = "" {Text10} {Text76}}
