Default if field

Hi ?B?dm1z?=,

I woud like to test a form field for empty or null value, somethig like
IsBlank.
IF TExtxx "" "True something" "False something", does not work as expected.

A form field name is also a bookmark, so:

{ IF { REF Text1 } " " "True" "false" }

If you look at an "empty" form field, you'll see that it contains five
non-breaking spaces.
