Including a Merge Code Within an IF Statement

[bk]

I would like to include a merge code within an IF statement. For example, IF
column A = 1, then I'd like for the text to appear, "Please consider a gift
of $<<Ask>>." Where "<<Ask>>" is the field name of the dollar amount. I
think I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Word but in 2003
it won't let me? Or is there another way?

What's the name of the mergefield that provides column A?

You could use something like

{IF {Mergefield A} = 1 "Please consider a gift of {Mergefield Ask \#
"$,0.00"}"}
