I'm new to using the {IF} field withing word, and am having some problems
common to a rookie i'm sure.

I have 1 field which is a dropdown bookmarked as "Region" with the options
of Blank, United States, and Canada.

What I want is my IF field to display "Return Address 1" if "Region" =
"United States" or "Return Address 2" if "Region" = "Canada" and "Unknown" if
the user leaves "Region" blank.

Can someone help me out here please? Much appreciated!

Hi PumaMan,

Assuming you're using one or more space characters for the 'blank', you could code the IF test as:
{IF{REF Region}= " *" "Unknown" "Return Address {IF{REF Region}= "Canada" 2 1}"}

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message. Pay careful attention to the spacing also.
