How do I Insert Special Text Inside a Merge Field?
You can use IF fields in mail merge main documents. Word's Help provides
information on this. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "rhonda" wrote in message ... I have a document set up with merge fields.

How do I Insert Special Text Inside a Merge Field?
I've tired using the "If then else" field but that doesn't work because
diffent names appear each time. What I'm doing is an invoice. All invoices have a name and address..some invoices will be for a gift subscription and will need to have the person's name on there that the gift is for. I have added the field which is called Gift Name. What I need to do is add text to only appear when that field appears. Everything I've tried so far puts the text on every invoice or it leaves it off all together. Got any ideas? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can use IF fields in mail merge main documents.

You need to approach it the other way round. You use the IF field to test
for a blank. If Gift Name is blank, you insert nothing; if it is not blank, you insert Gift Name. Something like this: { IF { MERGEFIELD Gift_Name } = "" "" "{ MERGEFIELD Gift_Name }" } If the Gift Name needs to be on a separate line, include the line or paragraph break in the FalseText rather than outside the IF field, and then you won't get a blank line if Gift Name is blank. -- Suzanne S.
