I have gone through the very comprehensive guidelines and thank you for that but I am afraid this is not what I am aiming for (or maybe I could not understand that this is my solution).
I have 10 confirmation letters in separate word documents. The same text is repeated numerous times in different parts of these documents. So i combined these documents in a single document added section breaks and headings to easily navigate through and used mail merge to populate the repeated fields.
Each heading is a separate section/confirmation letter, but not all sections are needed at all times. I wish to have a checklist in my data source (i.e. 10 letters) and choose which letters to mail merge. I thought doing this by inserting the whole text in the IF statement stating that if there is a "yes" next to the checklist in the data source then get this text or else bring nothing.
So the end result of the merged document would be to have the 10 letters on a single document but only 3 (for instance) would be the ones selected from the checklist that have text. The remaining 7 would just have a section break and a paragraph mark ¶.
At this stage, I just need the 3 pages, so if i could only delete the pages that do not contain any text.
I hope i could give you an idea of what i am trying to achieve here.
