Hi
I have a file that has different FILE Title showing based
on the different data entered in the datafields.  I used
if-else-then, and the two different titles, unfortunately
needs to have different formats, if the condition is met,
the title of the file needs to be in bold and underlined
format; while if the condition is not met, the second
title will show, and it needs to be bold yet not
underlined.  I could not get them to work differently by
highlighting and formating the contents.  Is there a sure
way to make sure they don't just become the same in font
format?
it looks like this:

if {mergefield a}=" " "BOLD & UNDERLINED" "BOLD"

You should be able to format the result of the conditional field (between
the appropriate speech marks) and that should carry to the merged document.
I use this method regularly without problem.

However, your fields, as written, do not appear to do anything, so that
could be the problem.

{IF {Mergefield A} = "" "{Mergefield Title}" "{Mergefield Title}"
The first mergefield title should be formatted as bold/underline the second
as bold.

Thank you Graham:
That's what I did and somehow it kept getting affected by
the font format of the other title that is not even
showing.  So I took a closer look and found that, the
first part of the formula was a heading while the other is
normal text.  Got it!
Thanks
