How do I insert a carriage return in a MERGEFIELD?
Put the SCHOLARSHIPS inside quotes, e.g.
{ MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 \b "SCHOLARSHIPS" } then add a carriage return immediately before the second ", in the usual way, so you have { MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 \b "SCHOLARSHIPS " } -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Tanya" wrote in message news  I have inserted the following field code{ MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 \b SCHOLARSHIPS}.

How do I insert a carriage return in a MERGEFIELD?
It works here, except the carriage return itself always appears.
But you can also do it using the more complicated: { IF "{ MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 }" = "" "" "SCHOLARSHIPS { MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 }" } where all three pairs of {} are the special field codes youcan insert using ctrl-F9 -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Tanya" wrote in message ...

How do I insert a carriage return in a MERGEFIELD?
Hi,
I am trying to go a step further. I have inserted a table to disble a category of things AWARDSCH_DESC, AWARDGRNT_DESC, AWARDLOAN_DESC. Each one takes up a cell in the table. With the field code, "{ IF "{ MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 }" = "" "" "SCHOLARSHIPS { MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 }" }", How can I add to delete the cell if the mergefield is null or blank?

How do I insert a carriage return in a MERGEFIELD?
You cannot delete cells from a table with a merge field, only the content -
however you don't delete the content, you insert it only when the condition applies. Personally I would never test for a nul entry using this syntax. I much prefer the alternative { IF { MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 } "" "SCHOLARSHIPS { MERGEFIELD AWARDSCH_DESC2 }"} I suspect also that what you are trying to do is produce a list entry which Word is not at all comfortable with.
