Compound "IF" formatting issue
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with formatting the "IF"
test below. I have compared it repeatedly to examples on the Web. When I toggle out of the field code view, instead of disappearing I see a shaded "{". The validator finds no errors. {IF { = AND ( { COMPARE { MERGEFIELD Hope_Fund_Flag } = "Y"}, { COMPARE { MERGEFIELD ABC_Flag } = "Y" } ) } = 1 "{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail Merge Merge\\Hope Fund Status.doc" Hope_Anu}" ""} Thank you |

Compound "IF" formatting issue
It works here - my guess is that you have not used CTRL+F9 for each pair of
field boundaries. In particular, what is the orphan Hope_Anu bit all about? Something along the lines of { INCLUDETEXT { IF{ =AND ({ COMPARE{ MERGEFIELD Hope_Fund_Flag \*upper} = "Y" },{ COMPARE{ MERGEFIELD ABC_Flag \*upper} = "Y" }) }= 1 "C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail Merge Merge\\Hope Fund Status.doc" "C:\\Documents and Settings\\piazzaj.000\\Desktop\\Mail Merge Merge\\Blank.doc"} } should prove more reliable. In this instance you will have to create a blank document for the Nul condition or you will get an error message. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org J_Piazza wrote: Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with formatting the "IF" test below.

Compound "IF" formatting issue
It looks OK here too, and I agree with your analysis. There is one other
possible though unlikely explanation: In particular, what is the orphan Hope_Anu bit all about? I assume it is intended to be the name of a bookmark in the included document. If the included document happens to contain a "{" character and that is the only character that has been bookmarked (probably wrongly) as "Hope_Anu", then the result would be as described.

Thank you ... that solved the problem. I started with CTL + F9, I just didn't
realize I needed to do it for each section. "J_Piazza" wrote: Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with formatting the "IF" test below.
