Default Mail Merge Blank Fields

I want to enter default text into any field that is left blank in a mail
merge document. For example, if the field is blank, I want it to insert:
___No ___Yes
This is a form that property owners will complete if we don't have the info
on record. If we have the info, the field will be filled with it.

Default Mail Merge Blank Fields

One,way is put "___No ___Yes" in the database blanks before the mailmerge.

Another way is put a special sequence in the database blanks, say "???"
and then do a find and replace after merge.
