Word 2008 vs Word 2007 mail merge features

Ed Bloomfield

I am considering converting my law office to the Mac platform but I rely
heavily on mail merge in Word 2007 for drafting documents. I currently use a
tab delimited text file for my data source as that is the only way Act! will
provide data that can then be used with some of Word's fields such as "if". I
use the "if" field a lot!! But I cannot find any documentation that such a
field exists in Word for Mac (I don't own the 2008 version yet). Can someone
help? Many thanks! Ed

You might do better asking Mac questions in a Mac Word forum, but I would be
very surprised if the IF field was not included in the Mac Word version.

Mac Word 2008 has most of the same field types as Word 2007, including IF
fields, but the documentation of fields in general in the product is at
least as bad as the documentation in Word 2007.

Word 2008 does not have /all/ the field types in Word 2007 - off the top of
my head it lacks ADDRESSBLOCK and GREETINGLINE, but has almost everything
else including new Word 2007 ones such as BIBLIOGRAPHY.
