I'll try to be clear here. Two questions.

1) I want a boolean operator in an IF statement, is this possible?
Example:

{if{MERGEFIELD "MAT_Movie"}= "Rain*" "(true)" "(false)"}

I want to catch all fields that begin with "Rain", such as "Rainy"
"Rain Man", etc.

2) THEN, for the true condition, I want to have an entire formatted
page appear (such as a generic order form). If false, I'd like to
leave it blank and NOT include the order form. Can I just paste the
entire page I want into the true condition "" quotes? Otherwise,
would I have to reference a file to import at that space?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
