In my letter I have Dear ...
I want to insert field for "nickname" if not blank otherwise "first name".
How
do I do this? My data source has 2 separate columns. Do I need to merge
them first?
{ IF { MERGEFIELD NickName } <> "" { MERGEFIELD NickName } { MERGEFIELD
FirstName } }
You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.

Hope this helps.
