If you tell us exactly what you are trying to achieve, we will tell you what
is possible.

I previously tried that but could not get it to work.
I did notice that the original field brackets {} hand lines around
them but the ones I entered did NOT. Could that make a difference?

I checked the link you provided but an unable to find anything. I'm
not very good at searching the web.

If you are building complex conditional fields, it is better to
insert them manually using CTRL+F9 for each set of field brackets
{}. The field dialogs are too inflexible. See
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm for some examples
of field construction.

Under

is

If...Then...Else...

This window allows for adding text under specific circumstances.

During an online class for Mail Merge, I was shown a similar window,
but instead of inserting text, you would add Mergefields.

The window had the first row (Field name, Comparison, Compare to) or
something similar on the succeeding rows.

I didn't realize I did not know where it is and I would like to find
it.

If this makes sense, can anyone tell me how to open this window? I
have no way of reconnecting with the instructor for the online
class.
