Hi ?B?d2lsZGRvdmU=?=,

I am tring to create a macro or toggle a merge field to change a word to an
abbreviation. Can you tell me how this is done?

Could you please describe in more detail what you have in mind, and in which
version of Word you're working?

FWIW, Word fields provide no means to perform string functions. If there are a
limited number of terms you need to test, an IF field could, perhaps, be a
solution.
