Word - ail merge condition

[royalcheese]

Hi all

Im tring to write a conditional statement for a field called years. e.g

So if the years is 0 then nothing will appear including the 0,

if it is 1 then , "1 year" will be shown.

and 2+ will be "2 years" .

Please can any one point me in the direction of conditional statements ?

Thanks in Advance

{IF {MERGEFIELD Year} = 0 "" {MERGEFIELD Year} = 1
"1 year" "2 years}}

I find the esiest way to do this is to use Insert Word field for the first part - with If ... Then ... Else, so that you get:
{IF {MERGEFIELD Year} = 0 "" ""}
and then replace the second pair of quotes by
{IF {MERGEFIELD Year} = 1 "1 year" "2 years"}.

A simpler solution would be:
{={MERGEFIELD Year}-1 \# 2\ Years;;1\ Year}
