The field construction shown puts the wingding entered into it before the
field when the field has content. When the field is empty it displays
nothing. If you want it to display something for an empty field insert that
something between the final pair of quotes thus:
{IF {Mergefield product_41} "" "Wingding { MERGEFIELD product_41}" "Put
your empty field text here"}

Ok so I updated all my fields with
{IF {Mergefield product_41} "" "Wingding { MERGEFIELD
product_41}" ""}

This works for most records, but on some where there are many empty
records, any time I used more than just the wingding like* enter
text here) the text doesnt show before my field, just my field?

I don't know how relevant this is to the mac version but in theory

{IF {Mergefield product_41} "" "Put the Wingding here { MERGEFIELD
product_41}" "Text you want to insert if missing"}

I need to add a wingding (the circle with the shadow) before each
field, but that wont show up if the field isnt there.

I read it was something like this
{ MERGEFIELD product_41 \b text I want to insert }

I am on a mac and I have cut and pasted several answers from this
forum, but nothing seems to work, I have tried adding the circle
into excel as well with no luck. I am hoping this is possible
