Mergefield - carriage return

[Eric]

Hello,

I am trying to go to the next line based on a contidion on a mergefield.
I am assuming that it would look like { IF{ MERGEFIELD "Country" } = "" ""
CHR(13)}

Also how to you insert a mergefield based on a condition on another
mergefield?
again I am assuming that it would look like { IF{ MERGEFIELD "Field1" } = ""
"" { MERGEFIELD "Field2" }}


Thank you.

Eric

{ IF{ MERGEFIELD "Field1" } = "" <Enter>
"" { MERGEFIELD "Field2" }}

will always give you a blank line

Perhaps you really want

{ IF{ MERGEFIELD "Field1" } = "" "{ MERGEFIELD "Field2" }" "{ MERGEFIELD
"Field1" }<Enter>
{ MERGEFIELD "Field2" }" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 for each pair of field delimiters {}

Hi Doug,

I tried this: { IF{ MERGEFIELD "Country" } = "" "" <Enter>} but all it does
is write <Enter>...

What am I missing?


Thank you.

I got it ... Sorry I didn't realize that <Enter> meant pressing the Enter
key...

It's working now.

Thank you.
