The issue with the double quotes relates to the construction of the IF test. Essentially, if any part of the expression contains more than one field or word, that part of the expression needs to be enclosed in double quotes.

As for documentation, there is some available via the Insert|Quick Parts|Field dialogue, and some more at:

Thanks Paul. Would you be able to explicate how quotes are paired in a code example from the Mailmerge Tutorial for us ?

In the first example, "Merge Records by Category",

{QUOTE{IF {MERGESEQ} =1 {SET KEY ""}}"{IF{MERGEFIELD City}<> {REF Key}
"IF...

is the quote (in red) the beginning of a new expression? And does that expression end with the next quote before IF - or is it paired with another quote further down?

Also, the use of QUOTE..I think it's used here to return values after expressions are evaluated. Is that correct?

Thanks!
