Default IF field blank, then insert different fields

Hi:
Using Word 2003, I need to create a condition, where if the title filed
is not blank, then I need to insert the first name field. IF the Ttle
field is nnot blank, then I need to insert the Tile field, and the last
name field.

I would really appreciate some help please - I am fine on mail merge in
general, but not to this level.
TIA
Cathy Allington

Default IF field blank, then insert different fields

Using Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { }

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Title } "" "{ MERGEFIELD Title } { MERGEFIELD
LastName }" "{ MERGEFIELD FirstName }" }

Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes.

Hope this helps.
