Default Singular/Plural or He/she

As discussed previously, I am happily using your gender toolbar. You
included an email link with the toolbar to request updates/suggestions. That
email was returned to me. Since you have already (rightly) chided me for
incorrect protocol, I am wondering how to get a correct email address for and
inform you of my email address, privately.

Michelle,

Unless you are producing something commercial, this would be
cost-prohibitive whether I do it or someone else. However, it would be a
good exercise for you so that you can learn how IF fields work and the logic
ingrained in such structure.

The gender toolbar uses document properties and changes pronouns based on
male or female settings of the Document Property "Gender." To use the same
fields in a mailmerge you test for a MergeField Gender instead of a
DocProperty Gender. Note that these tests are sensitive to case. That is
"male" and "Male" are not the same word.

Thanks so much, that gender toolbar is great and works fine in 2003. I
have
emailed you as requested to get notified of updates, but mention in the
email
that I may need to hire your services. I know you say you don't want to
attempt the singular/plural part, but if you can't do it, certainly I
cannot!
Can you do it, or can you refer me elsewhere?
