Press Alt + F9 to reveal the field codes and you will see { MERGEFIELD
"CompteDeNoCours" }. Select this and then press Ctrl + F9 to enclose it in a second pair of field delimiters, the between the { { enter the equal sign and between the } } enter *700, so that you have { = { MERGEFIELD "CompteDeNoCours" }* 700 } Press Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes. See "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
