What about doing this with idea with and entire letter. Anotherwords, if
"lead" then the letter (2 - 3 paragraphs and maybe even a table will
return.
and if "prospect" then different paragraphs will return with a different
table.

Is this possible?

Look up IF field in help. The braces cannot be typed in. You have to use
Ctrl-F9 or Insert Field.

news I am trying to make a mail merge letter that looks at a specified
mergefield
and returns specified text based on the field.

For example:

If field code is "lead" then test is "thank you for interest"
If field code is "prospect" then text is "thank you for your
application"
If field code is "client" then text is "thank you for business"

Is something like this possible
