Default Conditional Fields..

Hi ?B?R0g=?=,

I have 2 Regions called Region 1 and Region 2. Reg 1 has 4 divisions; Div 1,
div 2 etc. Reg 2 has only 2 divisions. Can I create a mergeed document that
creates the line "Your region 1 has the following divisions: ........(it
would then say 1 2 3 & 4)". For the reg ion 2 document it would only have
division 1 & 2.

I know this is confusing but the data I am trying to merge has many more
regions and divisions.

In the mail merge FAQ on my website, take a look at the discussion on
one-to-many mail merges. There are links to examples of the three workarounds
discussed. From your description, the KB article using SET and IF fields should
work...
