Basically I have a document where I have mail merged the gender column to
the
Dear Mr. / Mrs. area of the document.

I have it working where if the Gender column is male is assigns a Mr. or
if
not male it assigns a Mrs. as so.

{ IF m "m" "Ms." "Mr." }

Problem is, alot of the Genders are blank in the source, so where the
Gender
column is blank I want it to assign the First_Name from another column
instead.

So for instance.

If the gender is m or f it assigns Mr. or Mrs., but if no gender is
defined
in the column, it assigns First_Name from the First_Name column instead.

I am baffled.
