From: dolezelt on 27 May 2010 17:16 Why the following example does not work? Example: Bookmark "town" has value "Pasco" {IF town = Prague "Not true" "{IF town = Pasco "True" " "} "} The outcome of this function is "{IF town = Pasco " but I am expecting outcome "True". That means the word does not take into account another nested function IF. I am trying to use nested function "If" because I saw this example in Word 2003 help where nested If is used (I thought that it will work): {IF {MERGEFIELD Město} = "Brno" "Obyvatelům Brna náleží speciální sleva." "{IF {MERGEFIELD Město} = "Hořovice" "Obyvatelům Hořovic náleží speciální sleva." " "} "} Any solution to makes it work?

Hi dolezelt, Try: {IF{Town}= "Prague" "Not true" {IF{Town}= "Pasco" "True"}} Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "dolezelt" <dolezelt(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9BBF5BF4-BF1F-40E6-8612-A3C38A6B7940(a)microsoft.com... > Why the following example does not work? > > Example: > Bookmark "town" has value "Pasco" > {IF town = Prague "Not true" "{IF town = Pasco "True" " "} "} > > The outcome of this function is "{IF town = Pasco " but I am expecting > outcome "True".
