Snytax for CompareTo Field IF THEN ELSE
Hi my first post woohoo, I use mail merge in the work I do but wish to know what is syntax I use for IF ELSE THEN statment. Hope fully it reads clearly. Excel sheet Field Trust_name 1 Plantation 2 The Cabbage In the form letter, [ ] is where i want the sentence to change depending on the condition of the Trust_name. Example listed below. "...as trustee for [ ] Trust_name Trust,..." The statement I inserted [ ] in Word is: IF FieldName:Trust_name Comparison:EqualTo CompareTo:"The..." THEN "blank" ELSE "the" Result I want is: 1 Plantation "...as trustee for the Plantation Trust,..." 2 The Cabbage "...as trustee for The Cabbage Trust,..." What I want to know is what is the correct syntax to use for CompareTo box: "The-SPACE-Any number of character there after" for the compare CompareTo box? I guessed and tried "The*" doesn't work. It cant be "The-Any number of character there after" as there words begin with The such as Thespian and Theodore for example. I hope theres an answer. I pray in the mean time. Cheers! Seno -- seno |
