I have a SkipIf statement in a mail merge document which should skip the
record if the field 'badaddress' is equal to '*'. This is what I have: {
SKIPIF { MERGEFIELD BADADDRESS } = "*" }.

When I do the mail merge, I get this error: Word could not merge the main
document with the data source because the data records were empty or no data
records matched your query options.

I get this error when a merge one record or a batch of records. When I
remove the SkipIf statement, the merge works perfectly. I also tried {
NEXTIF { MERGEFIELD BADADDRESS } = "*" } but I was still getting letters when
'badaddress = *'.

Any suggestions?
