Problems with IF statement
Hello,
I am attempting to cater for a blank address2 in a mail merge. I have written the following expression: { MERGEFIELD Title } { MERGEFIELD FristName } { MERGEFIELD LastName } { MERGEFIELD Addr1 } { IF { MERGEFIELD Addr2 } = "" "" "{ MERGEFIELD Addr2 } " }{ MERGEFIELD City } { MERGEFIELD State } { MERGEFIELD Postcode } The intention is to enter Addr2 and a carriage return if Addr2 is not blank. I have two problems with this at the moment: 1. The carriage return is not working 2. If the text for Addr2 is "Level 21" only 21 is being displayed. I have included the spaces in the IF statement as it appears in my doc. Can someone point out where I have gone wrong? I am using Word 2003 Thanks in advance |

Problems with IF statement
Thank you.
This worked however if address2 is blank it shows this: Bob and Jane Smith 12 Microsoft Street New York Whereas I want it to put the new york line on the address2 line if blank like this: Bob and Jane Smith 12 Microsoft Street New York. So could you tell me how to modify the if statement to do this?

{ MERGEFIELD Title } { MERGEFIELD FirstName } { MERGEFIELD LastName }¶ { MERGEFIELD Addr1 }{ IF { MERGEFIELD Addr2 } "" "¶ { MERGEFIELD Addr2 }" }¶ { MERGEFIELD City } { MERGEFIELD State } { MERGEFIELD Postcode -- Hope this helps.
