Entering an if field

[DISTURBEDCUTIE]

I am trying to enter an if field that IF Site Type= Tent the result is $11.00
Otherwise the result is $23.50. Can someone please help? This is for a
college course and I have tried to follow the example in the help section.
When I merge to printer though it always prints out the IF field instead of
the values I want. Thanks!

Alt-F9 toggles the field codes to field results.

On the Print tab of Tools | Options, clear the check box for "Field codes."

While others have suggested the most likely solutions, did you infact insert
the fields correctly - as fields, with each pair of field delimiters set
with CTRL+F9 (or inserted from the toolbar?) Assuming a mailmerge you would
have something like

{IF {Mergefield SiteType} = "Tent" "$11.00" "$23.50"}

if reading a bookmark then change Mergefield to REF
