In Word 2000 or 97, the following fields used to work fine:

{if {DOCVARIABLE X \ *MERGEFORMAT} <>"." (condition)

{QUOTE {DOCVARIABLE X \*MERGEFORMAT} \@ "dd/mm/yy" \*MERGEFORMAT} (show this
if true)

{DATE \@ "dd/mm/yy" \*MERGEFORMAT} (show this if False)
}

If the variable X is ".", the fields show the actual Date,
If X is different, the fields show X in "dd/mm/yy" format.

But in Word 2003 it simply show NOTHING when the condition is True...
Can someone help?

Yes... several times...
The fields show nothing when the Docvariable X is "."
When it is "01/05/05", it´s result is ok (01/05/05).

I´ll test the same .doc in other instalations of word 2003.
Perhaps it´s a problem with the version installed here...
