Default Creating an 'IF' Formula in MS Word 2010.

Hello All, long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a tricky one for all those Word 2010 guru's out there.

I am trying to get create an audit tool based in Word 2010.

In cell E5 I have created a drop-down box which gives the user 3 options, these being YES, NO and NA.

In cell E8 I wish to create an 'IF' Formula that, depending on the choice the user makes in cell E5, will return

The number 1 for Yes
The number 0 for No
The number 1 for NA.

So far, the advice I have received has led me to create the following formula.

{IF{=E5}= Yes "1" {IF{=E5}= No "0"{IF{=E5}= NA "1"}}}

I am happy that I am not receiving the dreaded !Syntax Error, ) message any more. I am not happy that the formula appears to do nothing, the cell remains blank once I click OK on the 'Insert Formula' tab.

Is it the drop down box that is causing the problems?

Any and all help appreciated as this has me completely and utterly stumped.

Thanks for all your help.
