Default "Conditional Formatting" of Word Table Cell

Hi MaxArk,

There's no Word equivalent of Excel's conditional formatting. However, you can control the formatting of the text, including its
foreground and background colouring. To see how to do this and perform a wide range of calculations in Word, check out my Word Field
Maths 'tutorial', at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Formatting Numeric Field Results'.

Cheers

Excel has a conditional formatting feature that will reformat a cell
when a particular condition is met.

Is it possible to reformat a Word table cell when a condition is met,
similar to Excel's feature? I have a mail merge field placed in a table
cell, for which if it equals NO, the cell becomes shaded, otherwise it
is normal.
