Condition / insert external document

[superseba888]

Hello,

It is possible to insert customized text, after a condition is
verified :

--- If "gender=male" then insert "This member is male"
--- If "gender=female" then insert "This member is female"

My question >>
Is it possible to do the same, but inserting an external word file
(.doc) in lieu of a text :

--- If "gender=male" then insert wordfile "male.doc"
--- If "gender=female" then insert wordfile "female.doc"


Since I am a newbie in word mailmerge, I'm looking for the syntax I
have to use.

Thanks !
Vince

Hi Vince,

Try a set of nested fields code along the lines of

{INCLUDETEXT C:/Path/Subpath/{IF{MERGEFIELD Gender}= "male" "Male.doc" "Female.doc"}}

Cheers

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.
