Boy, Thanks Jay- the Text76 has turned into the actual results- I have
inserted all of the REF fields using Ctrl F9 then typing their name in the
brackets (or through the field option choose REF- select bookmark Text10).
But now my if statement doesn't work? I get text76 results or nothing.
{ IF { text76 } = "" {Text10) {Text76}
Thank you again for all of your time!

In the formula within the IF field, you cannot just type braces around a
bookmark name; you must select the name and press Ctrl+F9. The result of
that is a field within the IF field. Although the field delimiters look like
bold braces, they're something completely different.

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

I am trying to do an IF statement and it is not working.
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}}
