Select each portion of the text that you want enclosed in field delimiters
and Press Ctrl + F9 or use Ctrl + F9 to insert each pair of empty field
delimiters and then use the keybaord to create the required expression.

I can get Word to create the brackets using CRTL F9 but I can't seem to get
it to create the expression inside the brackets as follows:

{ If { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶

I am trying to get a mail merge to put city into a table, show all
records for the city into a second table on the same page and then
start a new page whenever the city changes.

I tried to use the following code from Microsoft KB but it does not
work:


{ If { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶
" ""}{ SET Place1 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶
{ If { Place2 } { Place1 }"¶
----------------------------Page Break--------------------------------
{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶
¶
{ MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE } { MERGEFIELD SALES }" "{ MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE
} { MERGEFIELD SALES }" }{ SET Place2 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶

I pasted the code as if from Microsoft's website becuase I could not
figure out out to create the formulas.
