Hide/show mailmerge fields depending on value

[JoeG]

Hi:

I'm trying to develope a mailmerge document to display a
report of items from a Access Query file. I've gotten the
simple stuff out of the way...mainly presenting 40 fields
in a table listing a brief discription of each "item".

NOW comes the difficut part.........

I'd like to describe in greater detail all items with a
certain value...say "High". In this "view" I'd like to
give more info in a small table for each item.


Item: 1......40 (if trigger field is "too high")
Question: Question text goes here for reader's benefit.
Comment: Inspectors comments on this question.
Guidance: Text offering guidance on this question.

This will repeat for each item where the trigger value
equals "High".

I don't want to print lines where the trigger equals "low"
or "medium". I think a VB macro is the way to go but I'm
not sure.

Thanks for your help....Joe

A simple conditional field would do the trick:

{IF {Mergefield fieldname} = "High" "Type this"}
