Merge fields
I have two problems:
I want to add together two merge fields. I am using the insert equation in a table. The format I am using is: {={MAILMERGEopeningbid}+{MAILMERGEincrement}} This keeps giving me a syntax error. The next thing I want to do I add together in a cell the result of the new field I am calculating above plus the MERGEFIELD increment. Can one of you really smart people tell me how to do this? |

Merge fields
You need
{ ={ MERGEFIELD openingbid }+{ MERGEFIELD increment } } (i.e. MERGEFIELD not MAILMERGE, and a space after MERGEFIELD) All the {} need to be the special field braces you can insert using ctrl-F9. If the field names have spaces in them, e.g. if it is not "openingbid" but "opening bid", you have to quote them, e.g. { MERGEFIELD "opening bid" } The next thing I want to do I add together in a cell the result of the new field I am calculating above plus the MERGEFIELD increment. That sounds like { ={ MERGEFIELD openingbid }+{ MERGEFIELD increment }+{ MERGEFIELD increment }} but I'm not convinced I've understood. Peter Jamieson "Bill" wrote in message ...
