Skip record if...
Can I use the skip record if function if i want a certain piece of data to
have a certain piece of information? For example i am making a 3 page document. Each page is a survey. Each survey is the same except it is made up of 3 samples. The 3 samples have different numbers for instance sample # 1 is 361 #2 is 652 and # 3 is 985. The problem is i want 361 to contain question number 3 but not 4 and 5. and i want 652 and 985 to contain questions 4 and 5 but not 3. Is there a way to do skips in the document? |

Hi dmaka1986,
I don't think a SKIPIF field is what you're after here. Rather, an ordinary IF field test should do the job. You could code such a field via the following steps: .. copy your «Sample» field and paste it into your document wherever the question to be displayed/suppressed should go; .. select the field and press Ctrl-F9 to enclose it in a new field, thus {«Sample»}; .. fill in around the new field braces thus, paying careful attention to the spacing {IF«Sample»= 361 "Question 3"}; .. repeat for each conditional question (eg {IF«Sample»= 652 "Question 4 & Question 5"}); .. run your mailmerge. Note: The output text appearing between the double quotes for a given field can include muliple paragraphs, tables, etc. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "dmaka1986" u48887@uwe wrote in message news:903cbe8ec0d3a@uwe...
