Word mail merge and negative values

[DCorsey]

I can't seem to get the mail merge to evaluate negative
numbers in the data source. I have an IF statement to
evaluate a field for a positive number (IF fieldname >
0 "print this" "print that"). The IF statement can't seem
to differentiate between the positive number and the
negative number they are all evaluated as if they were
positive. (I have tried inputting the numbers with both a
negative sign and parentheses and neither one works). Any
help you can give me would be much appreciated. Thank you.
