Format to combine Truetext fields & special characters?
I am having trouble getting the format right if I want to
combine a field, paragraph break and a second field as one Truetext. eg. {IF MergeCode="Home" "{ContactName} newparagraph {Contact Address}" {FalsetextField}} ....but, what to put in the newparagraph spot. I've tried Chr(), but it just prints Chr(). If I close the "", I can't get the appending to work. I've tried Special Characters, but it just prints the special character. On True, I'd like the results to be: "Contact Name Contact Address" But the best I can get is: "Contact Name Contact Address" Suggestions? Thanks in advance. Andrew |

It's even simpler than you think (I think :-) ) - position the insertion
point after [ContactName] and press the enter key, just as you would to create an ordinary new paragraph outside a field. -- Peter Jamieson "Andrew" wrote in message ...
