I have a mailmerge envelope and letter that is opened from Access. There is a
yes/no field in the merge query, named ENVELOPE.

Is there a way to set up an "IF" field in the envelope part of the document
such that IF ENVELOPE = "true" then the envelope prints, followed by the
letter
If ENVELOPE = "False" then only the letter prints

Or perhaps someone has a suggestion of a better way for the user in Access
to indicate if, when the merge is made to Word, Word should display both the
envelope and letter or just the letter.

Thanks for any ideas.
Mark

Mixed merges are difficult enough at the best of times. You would be better
creating a separate envelope merge with a SkipIf field at the start eg

{ SKIPIF { MERGEFIELD Envelope \*Upper } = "FALSE" }
