ASK REF and IF

[alanpaulwilson]

Hi. I'm new here and would really appreciate your help.



I want word to ask a question, then depending on the response (Y/N), print a specified paragraph of text from the same document, or exclude it if the condition is not met.

I have tried the above commands but cannot get it to work.

Many thanks

You could use a field coded as:
{QUOTE{ASK Print "Print the paragraph?}{IF{REF Print \* Caps}= "Y" "Your conditional Text goes here"}}

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example 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. You will also need to have the 'Update fields before printing' option checked.
