Editing long text in an "IF" field

[nonsensitor]

I am working on updating a template which includes an "IF" field.

I need to update the TrueText and FalseText values, however the text that
appears in the document is longer than the length of the editable field
properties (in the "Field" dialog box), which only includes the first few
lines.

I'm not sure how the extensive text was originally added to the field and
don't know how to update it now!

Press alt-f9 to display field codes, then edit the text directly in the
document.

Note that an easier way to keep the text updated would be to use
AutoText entries to store the text that should be inserted. You'll
need two AutoText entires: one when the condition is True, and another
when the condition evaluates to False. Assuming that you name these
AutoText entries NameOfTrueEntry and NameOfFalseEntry, respectively,
you would then insert the following nested fields into the document:

{ IF [condition here] { AUTOTEXT NameOfTrueEntry } { AUTOTEXT
NameOfFalseEntry } }

Use Alt+F9 to toggle the display of field codes. To insert each pair
of field delimiters, {}, press Ctrl+F9. Press F9 to update selected
fields.
