Any suggestions?
You might want to check out the 'Mailmerge Tips & Tricks' thread at the top of this forum to see how wrong you are about that!!!

For your scenario, all you need is a field coded as:
{IF«OKtoPublish»= True «PhoneNumber»}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practicable to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues. Likewise, you can't type or copy & paste the chevrons (i.e. '« »') - they're part of the actual mergefields, which you can insert from the mailmerge toolbar. The spaces represented in the field construction are all required.
