Hello there

I have a problem and hope someone might be able to help.
I am using MS Word 97 and want to merge.

If there is an If Else for example:

{ IF {MERGEFIELD test} = "yes" "insert this text" ""}

how can I get a {FORMTEXT} field in the place of "insert this text"??

The closest I can get is putting the {FORMTEXT} field between text , like :
{ IF {MERGEFIELD test} = "yes" "insert {FORMTEXT} text" ""}

but then it does not act like an textfield when the document is protected. It does not take focus and is not vissible, and you have to click on the area before it is possible to edit in the field.

Does anyone know how to do this ...or of an alternative?
