Non-mergefield related IF statement
Hi,
Below field sits in the footer and behaves as expected in a normal document. The text only appears in the footer of the last page of each section. When I apply mail merge to the document (which generates a multi-section document), the merged document doesn't contain the IF fields anymore because they are resolved during the merge. Any ideas anyone on how to maintain the IF fields in the resulting merged document? Or some completely different approach to show a text only on the last page of each section of a merge result? {IF {PAGE} {SECTIONPAGES} "" "some text"} Thanks 1 000 000 Eddy. |

Good idea, tx.
Text length seems to be limited to 64 chrs. though. No worries, I'll chop it in pieces that fit. "Peter Jamieson" schreef in bericht ...

Yes, that's correct, and I don't think there's a workaround other than the one you are using. Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk On 05/03/2010 16:40, Eddy Beuckelaers wrote: Good idea, tx.
