I'm using Word 2003 and Windows XP. I have a merge document setup and one
of
the fields is for the salutation. What I need to happen at the merge is
when
it comes to the salutation field, if it is blank then look to another
field I
have. so the statement should look something like this:

if salutation1=blank,salutation2,salutation1

However, I cannot figure out how to get that statement in my document.
Any
help would be appreciated.
