Hello,

I wish to be able to set a MailMerge field to Bold, depending on the contents of the field.

If the contents of the field begin with "Text" then the field should appear in bold, otherwise the field should appear as normal.

I have tried the following, among other attempts but, this always shows the fields in bold, regardless of contents:

{IF {MERGEFIELD Description} = "Text*" {MERGEFIELD Description}{MERGEFIELD Description}\* MERGEFORMAT}

my research suggests that this should work but, obviously it doesn't. I can't work out where I'm going wrong.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Graham

Lose the Mergeformat switch and add quotes around the results e.g.


{IF {MERGEFIELD Description} = "Text*" "{MERGEFIELD Description}" "{MERGEFIELD Description}"}

Thank you for that. Just what I was looking for, only I couldn't seem to find the right combination.
