Hi,
Most probably this has a simple solution, but at the moment I cannot seem to
find it.
I have a master file wich reads text from another file based on several
conditions.
One of those fields has 5 or more options that can be filled in, but only
need to have a specific text, all the other options should have the same
text. So it's an IF THEN ELSE statement.
I have: If mergefield personalia is "Civil Registry", includetext text1, if
mergefield personalia is "company badge" includetext text2, all other options
includetext text3.
Thanks, Lupe

{ IF { MERGEFIELD personalia } = "Civil Registry" { INCLUDETEXT
"drive:\\path\\text1.doc" } { IF { MERGEFIELD Personalia } = "company badge"
{ INCLUDETEXT "drive:\\path\\text2.doc" } { INCLUDETEXT
"drive:\\path\\text3.doc" } } }

You must use Ctrl + F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you
will need to adjust the INCLUDETEXT fields shown above so that the actually
point to the required text.

Hope this helps.

Doug, Many Thanks!
I figured it out via Word merge field IF THEN ELSE, but the other way around
(I used <> "civil..etc.), but this is much easier.
