Hi Xanbaby,

If I understand the problem correctly, you're trying to include the contents of a source document in a target document, but without
the source document's final CR. If that's so, you could bookmark all of the source document, except the final CR, then use an
INCLUDETEXT field in the target document to link to the bookmarked range in the source document. See Word's help file for more
details.

I'm using Word 2003 and have created a document which analyses a database and returns the result (Lots of If's, but once
completed, it will be merged frequently into many documents, so the setup and maintenance is worthwhile). I wish to use these
result in a master document, and can achieve and automate this via an INSERT command.

The issue is that the INSERT command places a hard return after the document is inserted, whereas I will frequently need to use
the calculation in the middle of several documents. What I was hoping to achieve is:

Set the result into a temporary field in word, then insert the document into a region of the document where I need a hard return.
I imagine a command something similar to that detailed below would suffice.

IF condition A is met then tempfield = Output Endif

I should then be able to place the tempfield into the middle of the document without generating a hard return.

Is it possible to manipulate the result of an IF command in such a manner in MS Word? Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
