Default Mail merge data that is used to control the document contents

Hi,

Anyone any ideas on how to use mail merge data to control the contents
of the mail merge document? Depending on a particular code within the
data file to be mail merged, I need to display some questions and not
others on a form to completed either manually or electronically?

I am hoping to able to perform one mail merge against the data file
rather than creating seperate forms and filtering on the data
file........

Many thanks in anticipation.

Simon

Use an If...then...Else... field construction in conjunction with the use of
IncludeText fields.
