Default Page Break

I have a word 2003 mail merge document and would like to know how I would add
a page break if a mailmerge criteria is true and leave it out if mailmerge
criteria is false.

Default Page Break

Hi Marianne,

You could use an IF field coded as:
{IF{MERGEFIELD Condition}= "True" {QUOTE 12}}
where 'Condition' is your data field name and 'True' is whatever that field should return to cause the page break to occur.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That works beautifully. I've been working on
this for hours. I should have come here first.
