When merging and using a compare field, how do I jump from S3 to S
I am using a compare field in a merge document. If the result is true, I want
the system to jump to section 3 of the document. If it's false, I want the system to jump to section 1. Alternatively, if section jumping isn't something supported, could I use book marks for this? Any help is appreciated. Hope |

Try the following general approach - insert an IF field that includes the
material up to section 3 if the comparison is false, and nothing if the comparison is true. e.g. { IF { MERGEFIELD x } = "T" "" "all the text and fields you want up to the beginning of section 3" } You can include quite a lot of types of thing in IF field result texts but (a) probably not everything you could have in a Word document and (b) the formatting may not work the way you expect. Typically it is simpler to create the material you want, then Cut/Paste it into the { IF } field. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Hope" wrote in message ...
