SKIPIF normally goes at the start of the merge and SKIPs the record if the
criteria are met.
Use CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries or insert the field.

Graham, Thank you for the reply.
I now have a new question. how do I implement this Skipif field.
What I have now is CTN's CTN'S. would I put that in the envelope
template like this "CTN's {SKIPIF {Mergefield fieldname} = "0"}
CTN'S"?

You could use a SKIPIF field - {SKIPIF {Mergefield fieldname} = "0"}

I have made an Excel sheet with data pulled from other sheets. Some
of the entries have "0's" on them, which is fine in Excel, but I
don't need to print out Envelopes with "0's" on them in Mail Merge.
I know how to manually filter them out in Word during the select
recipients part, but is there a way that I can automate this. I
have set my Excel sheet as a template because the data is always
new, and I also have a template of the envelope with the formatting
and merge fields already in place. Is it possible to save
filtering process steps? Currently we have to click on one of the
field arrows in "Select Recipient" dialog box, select advanced,
then we select the field to be filtered, choose the comparison by
option (we use "Greater Than") and then enter the "0" zero. This
gets rid of all the entries we don't need, but is there a way that
I can save that into the Envelope Template or something? Maybe
even in Excel? I appreciate any help on this. Thanks.
