I am using many If Else If statements in a document. The results of these
statements is a table. The tables have the borders removed, yet upon
merging, the borders come back.

Anyone know how to keep the borders away through the merge process?

My code looks something like this:

{ If { = AND ({ COMPARE {Mergefield Field16 <> "" } , { Compare {Mergefield
Field44 } = "Y" } ) } = 1 "TABLE1 GOES HERE"{ If { = AND ({ COMPARE
{Mergefield Field16 = "" } , { Compare {Mergefield Field44 } = "Y" } ) } = 1
"TABLE2 GOES HERE" { If { = AND ({ COMPARE {Mergefield Field16 <> "" } , {
Compare {Mergefield Field44 } <> "Y" } ) } = 1 "TABLE3 GOES HERE" "TABLE4
GOES HERE" }}}
Microsoft Word 2002

Thank you for the help,

-Bryan

No, but you could use a macro to easily remove the borders.

How are you inserting the tables? If you save the formatted tables as
autotext entries and insert autotext fields it should work (it does here).
