look at the second character in a mergefield in expressions
I am trying to build an expression that will make the program look at
mergefield contents, and depending on the first letter of each content print my own text. So far this has worked well, but now I am faced with one field content where I really need the second letter specifically to be Q and the program needs to ignore the first, which is used by another area. To date what I get is a response to the first letter despite, trying to say that the field should equal "LQ*" not "L*". Any suggestions? |

I am not sure how you are trying to do this, but you should realise that
Word is a word processor. If you want to manipulate data, you should use a database such as Access. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Pat Clifford" Pat wrote in message ...
