Hi Peterth,

The blank page is probably the result of something in the document referred to by the INCLUDETEXT field. You might get better results if you bookmark just the part of the reference document you're interested in (eg not including the final paragraph mark) and refer to the bookmark in the INCLUDETEXT field. For example:
{IF{MERGEFIELD A} <> "" {INCLUDETEXT "\\\\Dir1\Doc1.doc" "BkMk"}}
where 'BkMk' is the bookmark name. You probably don't need the '\* Mergeformat' switch.
