Combo box and If..Then..Else statements

[cman_69]

Hello,
I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if I am posting in th
wrong section.

My situation is this... I have created a table in MS Word 2003. In som
of the columns, I have inserted a combo box with the following drop dow
options (All, Some, None). The table has been mail merged with
document and when I inserted the merged field that contains the comb
box, it works great with each new record. The only problem I am havin
is trying to get a {If..Then..Else..} statement to work with thos
columns containing the combo boxes. If I enter exact text in place o
the combo box the "IF" statement works, but with the combo box, m
result is not as expected.

Example:
Table column named *Breakfast* with combo box options (All, Some
None)

Merged document line:
First I ate (merged data «Breakfast») = {All} of my breakfast,

After the merge document line, I wanted to insert the "IF" statement a
such.
IF «Breakfast» = All THEN "It was good" ELSE "I wasn't very hungry".


I hope my question is clear, any help is appreciated
