One Letter Names in Salutation
Hi All, I am resending this as I think I posted it in the wrong group previously. I do a lot of mail merges using MS Word. I've dealt some with field codes and macros but this situation stumps me. Is there a way/how would I deal with one letter first names in a salutation. For instance, if I'm trying to use the first name field of an individual from my data but the first and last name looks like "D Jones" then the resulting salutation would be "Dear D". Obviously this is not good. I would think the answer lies in proper use of the If-Then-Else style Word Field. Therein lies my problem. How to build an IF statement from looking at my data and deciding whether or not the data is only one character long. Can someone suggest how this may be done? I surmise possibly a Word "compare" field might do but again, syntax gets in my way. Help! Regards Dale |
