I've tried to resolve this myself, but have given up!

I'm using office 2003 and merging data from an Excel spreadsheet into a word
document. I want to conditionally print a line (the Objective) when data
changes in one of the Excel columns.

{If {MergeRec} = 1 {SET MyIndex " "}
{if MyIndex {Mergefield Objective} "Objective: {Mergefield Objective} "
"" }
{SET MyIndex {Mergefield Objective} }

{Mergefield QuestionText}
A. {Mergefield Answer_a_text}
B. {Mergefield Answer_b_ text}
IF {Mergefield Answer_c_text} "" "C. " ""}{Mergefield Answer_c_text}
IF {Mergefield Answer_d_text} "" "D. " ""}{Mergefield Answer_d_text}

The results are inconsistent. For the first record, the Objective prints
fine. When the objective changes the first time, the new (second) Objective
is not printed. But on about the fifth change in objectives, it is again
printed. I have even gone so far as to print the values of the MyIndex field
and the Objective field for each record and I can see where they are
different but the If MyIndex = Objective test is evaluated as true!! Is
there a character limit? Some objectives are up 149 characters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much,
