I'm trying to merge documents using word 2002. Problem is
that I want the IF condition to look for a word within a
memo field.

e.g: IF mergeComment contains the word "contingent"
(anywhere in the comment, not necessarily beginning or the
end) then I want to insert a paragraph of text.

Appreciate any clues you can provide.

Thank you

Hi Cirano,

You can't do that with a field: Word fields don't have functions for testing
for a string within another string. You'll either need to use a macro, or a
field that can reference some numeric data or a complete string for testing.

Cheers
