Word if...then statement using merge field = invalid Merge field?
Hi,
I am performing a mailmerge from within the Pegasus Opera II System. This calls on Word for the mailmerge and you finish it off in there. In the Pegasus software you set up custome fields. These are then available to select when you set up the mail merge field. I have a field called Cat. It could have4 predefined catalogues depending on selection. In the merge document I used the if statement to say that if the field = a specific name, then make a X in the box. I have 4 of these on the document each for a different caqtalogue. When I run the merge, it pops up an error message Invalid Merge Field: This merge field is used in the main document, but it does not exist in the datasourse. I have options to remove the field, or replace with a field from a drop down which only give AutoMergeFields and then OK or cancel. If I click on the cancel continuously, the merge comes up and the if statement did what it was suppose to do. Problem is if I have a 100 documents to send, I have to click 12 times per document, equating to a 1200 click. Time consuming. Any ideas please Regards, Bruce Kidd |
