create conditional data in label mail merge

[Corky Whiteboard]

I have a mail merge label document. I want to conditionally print one field
- ie, if the <<Country Abbrev>> field is NOT US, then print the <<Country>>
field otherwise leave blank.

HI,

If you have a fairly large volume to process and would like an automated
solution, my OctoTools can conditionally print based on input information
(such as state code or zip or phone number or any other input data as well).
OctoTools is however more justified for applications running with medium to
high volume throughputs as opposed to an occasional desktop app. If
interested please give me a call (978) 535-7676 or e-mail for additional
info.

Thanks and good luck,

Larry T.

{IF {Mergefield Country_Abbrev} <> "US" "{Mergefield Country}"}
will do that. Note that the field boundaries {} are inserted with CTRL+F9
and that fieldnames should not have spaces.
however if the fieldname does have a space, it might work with
{IF {Mergefield "Country Abbrev"} <> "US" "{Mergefield Country}"}
