How do I limit text output from a merge field?
Hi;
This seems like it should be a very easy thing to do. In Access, I put both the First Name and Middle Initial into the "First Name" field. When I print my advertisements using Word Mail Mere, I want only the first name to appear, ignoring the initial. I am guessing there is an "If/ Then" statement or something that I can insert that will have mailmerge only use the letters before the space, but I can't figure out how to do that. Of course, I could make a middle initial field in Access, and just might do that. I was just curious and would like to learn more of this aspect of mail merge anyway. Thanx Jdaman |
