Is it possible to use Boolean operators AND and OR in code fields?

E.g. {IF condition AND condition action1 action2}

If not, is there any other way to solve that problem?

Thanks for answers,

Marko.

Hi Marko,

> Is it possible to use Boolean operators AND and OR in code fields?

In a round-about way, yes. Go into Words Help and look up the
COMPARE field code. Now go down to the Example. See how it combines
IF and formula {= } fields with the OR and AND functions? (Compare
is irrelevant, here, it's just a good example for the functions)

Notice how the OR and AND functions list the two things to compare,
separated by the ARGUMENT SEPARATOR defined in Windows. In the Help
documentation, this is usually a comma. But the symbol used by your
Word/Windows installation may be different (a semicolon, for
example)
