If...then...else fields
I have a document that uses a lot of different If...then...else fields for a
mail merge. I want to revise the text that will be inserted, but I don't know how to get to that text because it doesn't show up on the page until the merge is performed. Is there a way to see the text that will be inserted? |

If...then...else fields
If you use Alt-F9 to display all the field codes (rather than their results)
you should be able to find the texts you need using Edit|Find or by eyeballing the document, unless the text comes from outside the document, e.g. from an Autotext entry or a document or part of a document that has been inserted using an INCLUDETEXT field. In that case I think I would probably use Windows Explorer's search facilities to try to find any files that contained the text you wanted to change. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Kirstypie" wrote in message news  I have a document that uses a lot of different If...then...else fields for a mail merge.
