I have the following field in my document:
{IF {MERGEFIELD "Type"}="A""""{MERGEFIELD "Base"}/2 \# "$0.00 }"}
When I "merge to a new document"the value shows up (If there is a value
there).
However when i "merge to printer", the value doesn't print out.

Is there anything that i can do to make the field print out when I merge to
printer?
I'm trying to do this in Word 2002

Your syntax is somewhat awry
Try
{ IF{ Mergefield Type } <> "A" "{ =({ Mergefield Base }/2) \# ",$0.00" }"}

Thanks Graham,

I've amended the field like you said, however it still will not print the
value out when I "merge to printer". Is there anything that I can do to make
get tha value to print out?

Regards,
Stephen
