I want to do a If-Then-Else statement in mailmerge such that if a condition
is true, 3 mailmerge fields are added to the document; otherwise, a
text-field (or, a single field) is added. I have tried &( )+ between the 3
fields (to "connect" them). Is there anyway to do it? (I keep getting the
second of the 3 I want to combine and add as the "else" part, which makes
sense...).

{IF {MAILMERGE evnttype = "OTSC" {MAILMERGE "date"} {MAILMERGE "time"}
{MAILMERGE "room"} "unscheduled" } }

TIA

{IF {MAILMERGE evnttype} = "OTSC" "{MAILMERGE "date"} {MAILMERGE "time"}
{MAILMERGE "room"}" "unscheduled" } }

Works fine. Thanks, Doug. (So simple I'm kicking myself....)

Yes, Doug Robbins replied with

{IF {MAILMERGE evnttype} = "OTSC" "{MAILMERGE "date"} {MAILMERGE "time"}
{MAILMERGE "room"}" "unscheduled" } }

(all the {} need to be the special field braces you can enter using
ctrl-F9).
