Hi all,

I'm trying to shade a table cell based on the value of a mail merge field. In this case, I'm simply using "R", "G" and "B" to depict whether the cell is red green or blue. I'm trying to follow the section in the sticky on this but I'm just getting coloured text. Am I misunderstanding the use for this or doing something completely wrong?

I've made a single cell table, Alt+F9 to bring up the code. I'm using Ctrl+F to ender new brackets and "Insert Merge Field" to add fields. My current test code is:

This just gives me "Test Text" in red if the value is "R". I just want to shade the cell red with no text? Am I doing something wrong or have I misunderstood that this code is used for?
