Conditional text formatting

C

chad

I'm mail merging excel data and what I want to do is conditionally format the data bold depending on the result. For instance if the data is "Bellingham" I want it to be bold, if it is "Everett" I want the data to not be bold. I'm new to mail merging so I'm unfamiliar with the "code" aspect of it.

Chad,

Try a nested conditional IF field with a \*Charformat switch:

{ IF {MERGEFIELD "Your Mergefield"} = "Bellingham"{MERGEFIELD "Your
Mergefield" \*Charformat}{MERGEFIELD "Your Mergefield"} and apply bold
formating to the "M" in the field containing the charformat swith.
