SKIPIF Error? Word 2000 Chris Stammers 5/16/2007 8:42:01 AM Hello, Is it possible that a SKIPIF statement could stop other formatting queries in a document from working? I have been skating round this issue for the last few days. I have a document that has some currency formatting queries in it, and a SKIPIF statement at the top so that the document only generates for specific criteria. Both the currency and skip statements came from this forum and they work very well. The document seems to work if I remove the currency formatting. Do you think that one could be cancelling out the other? Thanks, Chris

If you are able to, you are welcome to despam my e-mail (take out the KillmapS) and send me the Mail Merge Document (and if possible, some test data). I can at least have a look. If you do that, remind me which Windows/Word version combination you're using (for Word 2000, I think I can only do Win2kSP4/Word2kSP3) Peter Jamieson "Chris Stammers" <ChrisStammers[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:27E849CB-FC57-4686-A5F4-BE75347BB234[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: SKIPIF Error? Word 2000 "Peter Jamieson" <pjj[ at ]KillmapSpjjnet.demon.co.uk> 5/16/2007 7:28:40 PM It looks as if the problem is actually to do with mixing { SKIPIF } and { = { MERGEFIELD myfield } } in the same document, and is not to do with the formatting switches. Luckily, { =myfield } seems to work OK - this is the only time I can remember when { ={ MERGEFIELD myfield } } has not worked. However, I await Chris's judgment on this...
