I'm working with the "IF" conditional field in Word 2007. I'd like the
output to contain a paragraph mark only if the condition is met. I've failed
to locate an expression for paragraph mark that I can include in the field.

I've stored an Address and Suite Number into separate Document Properties.
If a Suite is present, I'd like that to precede Address on a separate line
like this:

123 Main St. (no suite)

or

Suite 3 (with suite)
123 Main St.

Here's the expression I've composed:

{ IF { DOCPROPERTY Suite } = "" "{ DOCPROPERTY Address}" "{ DOCPROPERTY
Suite }^p{ DOCPROPERTY Address}" }

I've inserted "^p" after the suite property. This works for Find and
Replace, but not here.

Your suggestions are very much appreciated!

Hi Bill,

It's as simple as hitting the Enter key where you want the paragraph mark to go!

Cheers

That did the trick. Thanks macropod!

I had actually tried this, but failed to "Update Field" when testing. It
would seem intuitive that a modified field would be updated automatically,
just as Excel updates when formulas are changed.

Hi Bill,

Few Word fields update automatically - you usually need to do something like previewing or printing the document. Alternatively, you
could use Ctrl-A then F9 to update everything in the body of the document.
