I have been printing labels using a simple Mail Merge...just printing Name, Address, etc. I WANT to set the merge so that ONLY records with a 1, or a "yes", or any other True/False type entry in a named column (PrintLable). I don't care how this column gets marked...whatever will make it print when wanted and skip when not. I can't seem to get any syntax correctly entered. Of course by default each label after the first label already contains a "NextRecord" field. I have tried to get NextIf and SkipIf to work, but nothing seems to be correct, so I am not getting the syntax correct, I assume. I always get all the records no matter how I enter the field. (We are using this on two different versions of Office...7 and 10, but I can set it up for each, if that is needed. Entering the instructions isn't the issue, just doing it correctly, is.) Could certainly use some guidance here. Thanks, jp

The SKIPIF field for that would be coded as:
{SKIPIF{MERGEFIELD PrintLable}= ""}
or:
{SKIPIF«PrintLable»= ""}

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above examples are all 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 (ie '« »') - they're part of the actual mergefields, which you can insert from the mailmerge toolbar. Note also the required space after the '='.
