Thanks to both of you for your responses. Unfortunately, this doesn't always
work. Specifically, it's failing for me if the {symbo} field is the first or
last thing in the result text. Try this:
{ IF "a"="b" "{Symbol 034}text1{Symbol 034}" "{Symbol 034}text2{Symbol 034}" }
Yields: text2

Now try this:
{ IF "a"="b" "my{Symbol 034}true{Symbol 034}text" "my{Symbol
034}false{Symbol 034}text" }
Yields: my"false"text

I can only speculate why Word is dropping the quotes in the first example.
Is this a bug or is there some nuance of this feature that is eluding me? If
all else fails I can continue to use two single quotes.

Again, any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

034 will give you straight quotes. If you want the curly ones, you'll need
to use 147 (left) and 148 (right). Alternatively, you can use two single
quotes.

Use a nested {Symbol 034} field in each place you want the quote symbol
to appear. E.g.,


"....{Symbol 034}true{Symbol 034}..."
