Inserting Text based of an Equation Result

[Expando1]

Word 2003

I've created an equation: { = {Text11 } - {Text12} }
Works beautifully.

Now I want to insert a boilderplate text conditional on the value of that
equation, so I've written: { IF { { = {Text11 } - {Text12} } <=25 "blah"
"goody" } }
Meaning if the value of that equation is less than/equal to 25, insert the
text "blah" otherwise insert the text "goody"
Doesn't work at all; I get a blank line. Any tips?

If that's an exact transcription of the field, you have one pair of field
braces too many. You also need a space between the <= operator and the 25
value. It should look like this:

{ IF { = {Text11} - {Text12} } <= 25 "blah" "goody" }
