merg document formatting
I have a word document (catalogue) around one of the fields I would like to
put a parenthesis. (nick_name). If there isnt a nick name I would like the space left blank without the parentheses. I have tried if then but cant seem to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks Dick |

merg document formatting
I gather this is a mail merge main document. You need the field:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD nick_name } "" "({ MERGEFIELD nick_name })" } Insert the pairs of field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be typed from the keyboard) using Ctrl+F9. -- Suzanne S.
