I have a word mail merge document with several if..then scenarios. For one
scenario, I want a complete 3 column, 5 row table to show up if the field in
my excel sheet is zero. When I try to do this my table does not format as a
table. What am I doing wrong?

You will probably need to create an autotext entry for the table and have
the If...then...Else insert the Autotext entry if the condition is met.

Hi Marty,

If you embed an Excel worksheet or a Word table with double quotes either side of it in a properly-constructed IF field, it should
display correctly when the relevant True/False conditions are satisfied. Are you using a real worksheet/table, or just text in a
tabular layout?

Cheers
