Merging conditional fields

[s]

Hello,

Is there any way to merge fields based on conditions, e.g.
if the field for <<CFOName>> is empty, the field will be
filled with <<AltName>>?

S,

Something like {IF {MERGEFIELD CFOName} = """{MERGEFIELD ALTName}{MERGEFIELD
CFOName}} should work.

You have sneaked an extra " in there
{IF {MERGEFIELD CFOName} = "" {MERGEFIELD ALTName} {MERGEFIELD CFOName}}
or (I prefer to use speech marks even with fields where they are not
strictly necessary as it makes it easier to debug later)
{IF {MERGEFIELD CFOName} = "" "{MERGEFIELD ALTName}" "{MERGEFIELD CFOName}"}
should do it.
