How do I use an "IF" statement in Mailmerge?

[Mia]

I've got an Excel spreadsheet for Asset management with columns for different
features, with "TRUE" or "FALSE" values. I'd likke to print an "X" in a form
letter during a mailmerge is a certain column contains "TRUE", but have been
unnable to do so.

Hi Mia,

If you select your existing mailmerge field, which probably looks something
like:
«AssetFeature»
and Press Ctrl-F9, you'll get:
{ «AssetFeature» }
If you then fill in between the braces so that you've got:
{IF«AssetFeature»= "TRUE" X "FALSE"}
that should give the result you're after.

Cheers

Try
{IF«AssetFeature»= "TRUE" "X" "FALSE"}

Or:
{IF«AssetFeature»= TRUE X FALSE}
You don't need the quotes unless the strings have spaces in them ...
