Hi
I am getting crazy after trying out so much as well as researching the
group for an answer to my problem.
I have already found the field code for my problem, but I never did
anything with fields so far, so I have no idea what I've done wrong. Is
there someone who can explain the steps for dummies like me?
Thx a lot in advance, and this is the case:
I have opened a new .dot file for a template, I insert a drop-down menu
(with calculate on exit checked) with the choice Mr and Mrs I want to
insert a field which fills in automatically "he" or "she" in respect of
the choice in the dropdown. I have tried insert -> field -> field names
"IF" -> and in the field code I wrote: IF Dropdown1 = "Mr" "he" "she"
and press enter. Then in my text there always appears a "she" although
I have chosen Mr in the dropdown.
I have tried so many things which I've found in the groups, like
toggling field codes and delete the MERGEFORMAT. And changing the code
in: {IF {Dropdown1} = "Mr" "he" "she"} also I've tried { IF {REF
Dropdown1} = "Mr" "he" "she"} which also didn't work. After updating
the field, it says: Dropdown1 }
Is there someone who could give me a exact step after step instruction?
Thank so much!!!
