I have the following condition:
If ( Mergefield Anything = "test" "it is a test" "It's not a "test"!") I would like to display: It's not a "test"! but I have a problem because "" is used as condition in word. How can I ignore "" in the second sentence ? Thank you. -- Alex St-Pierre |

Nasty, but you can use a field { QUOTE 34 } to insert the """, e.g.
{ If { Mergefield Anything } = "test" "it is a test" "It's not a "test{ QUOTE 34 }!") Make sure all the {} are the proper field code braces you can insert using ctrl-F9, not the ones you can enter directly on the keyboard. Peter Jamieson "Alex St-Pierre" wrote in message ...

{ QUOTE 34 } doesn't work well. I know that there is a place in word that you
can click to say that this specific character is not used as operator ?? -- Alex St-Pierre "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Nasty, but you can use a field { QUOTE 34 } to insert the """, e.g. { If { Mergefield Anything } = "test" "it is a test" "It's not a "test{ QUOTE 34 }!")

A pity. What goes wrong with it? I know that there is a place in word that you can click to say that this specific character is not used as operator ?? I do not think that there is, but if you can remember please let us know. There are one or two things you can change to do with quotes in Word but I do not think any of them will help in this situation, e.g. a. you can stop Word from using "Smart quotes" in AutoFormat/Autoformat as you type. (Not relevant here) b. there is a compatibility setting (see the Tools menu) to do with the handling of \" in data sources, but I do not think it is relevant and I have never been able to work out what it actually does Peter Jamieson "Alex St-Pierre" wrote in message ... { QUOTE 34 } doesn't work well.
