Field length
Is there a way I can use an IF statement to tell the length of a
particular merge field? I'm thinking of something like LEN(mergefield). Does such a thing exist in Word? I can't even think that a macro would help me... Steve Wylie |

Hi Steve,
Not with text strings. You could use math on numeric values, though, by testing the value against powers of 10 to calculate the number of (non-decimal) digits. This could be extended to testing decimals also, but that's a bit more work. Cheers "Steve Wylie" wrote in message om...
