Default Creating Template Variable for a RecordSet?

Office Word 2003. The .dot field that I need to have controll over is a
hyperlinked field, labeled? "Course, Mag (Leg Midpoint)+"; this is
calculated. Depending on a registry value, this needs to be either the
Midpoint or "Course, Mag (Leg Initial)+" field.

Hi Scotty:

Yes, it's possible, however I need to know a bit more about what you are
trying to accomplish in order that we can suggest the best way to do it.

I would usually use an "IF" field for this. Look up the help topic "Field
codes: If field" and come back here if you can't figure it out from there
:-)


Cheers

I have a template which I would like to put a place holder to display 1 of 2
values depending what the user has selected as a preference. I know very
little of the Word Template operations, but is this possible. If so where
should I look for some help.
Thank you.
