Conditional (IF) Field Output Paragraph Mark
I'm working with the "IF" conditional field in Word 2007. I'd like the
output to contain a paragraph mark only if the condition is met. I've failed to locate an expression for paragraph mark that I can include in the field. I've stored an Address and Suite Number into separate Document Properties. If a Suite is present, I'd like that to precede Address on a separate line like this: 123 Main St. (no suite) or Suite 3 (with suite) 123 Main St. Here's the expression I've composed: { IF { DOCPROPERTY Suite } = "" "{ DOCPROPERTY Address}" "{ DOCPROPERTY Suite }^p{ DOCPROPERTY Address}" } I've inserted "^p" after the suite property. This works for Find and Replace, but not here. Your suggestions are very much appreciated! |

Hi Bill,
It's as simple as hitting the Enter key where you want the paragraph mark to go! Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "BillV" wrote in message ...

Conditional (IF) Field Output Paragraph Mark
That did the trick. Thanks macropod!
I had actually tried this, but failed to "Update Field" when testing. It would seem intuitive that a modified field would be updated automatically, just as Excel updates when formulas are changed.

Hi Bill,
Few Word fields update automatically - you usually need to do something like previewing or printing the document. Alternatively, you could use Ctrl-A then F9 to update everything in the body of the document. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "BillV" wrote in message ...
