Hi:

I am dumbfounded by this problem.  I have a mail merge document that is
working with CSV data files.  I am inserting text if a field value is null
or blank.  I am using Word's IF-Then_Else code.  My test looks like this:

if {Mergefield ActivationCode}<>"" "Code Field Exists" "Code field is
blank".}

This always returns "true" even though there is nothing in the
ActivationCode field.  I have tried everything, but it will not work.  I
have tried > "", IS NOT BLANK, etc, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?
