Re: Word field Skip IF problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Basically I have a work*** that has different headings: "to" "planner"
"date completed" etc. These are also the mergefields in my word docs. So if
under the heading To the department is not Ecology then it skips it until it
finds the correct department name. Which is fine for all of the rest of my
documents except Miscellaneous.doc. This document is used for several
different departments. I'm not sure how I can put a mergefield in that has
more than one document name. . This way it pulls all of the names off the
work*** and makes different documents for each one. I hope this makes more
sense. It's a lil hard to explain.

On the face of it, you should be able to use one field after another, e.g.

{ SKIP IF {MERGEFIELD To }<>"Department of Ecology"
}{ SKIP IF {MERGEFIELD To }<>"Department B"
}

However, I am not completely sure what you are actually doing here: Surely
if you SKIP when the "To" is /not/ "Department of Ecology" then e.g. you
want to SKIP if it /is/ "Department B" - adding extra "not equal"
conditions does not seem to make sense.

If you could spell out what your merge is trying to achieve, maybe we
could suggest a different approach (and maybe not!)

I have a mergefield that uses word field "Skip if".
It basically says Skip record if "mergefield to" does not equal that
documents name. The problem is that I have a document that is considered
miscellaneous and is used for about 20 different records. Is there a way
to put in all of these names in the word field "skip if"? Or am I going
to have to make 20 different documents?
This is what it looks like with one record.
{ SKIP IF {MERGEFIELD To }<>"Department of Ecology"}
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
