How do I add a new document to an existing doc?

[Guest]

I have a document which is basically a one page document. I need to add
another document to the first document only if certain criteria is met
(example IF MERGEFIELD = XYZ... then INCLUDETEXT c:\\add_doc_#2)

IF the criteria is not met then I just need the 1st document. I've tried
several things, but no matter where I put the IF MERGEFIELD statement I don't
get my required results. Thanks

You've got the basic idea down. You need nested fields, though. Create your
nested portions using the Ctrl-F9 key combination to insert your field
delimiters. Do your editing with field codes displayed (Alt-F9).

You need to get your syntax right, then, as Charles indicates, enter the
fields manually using CTRL+F9 for each pair of field brackets.

{IF {Mergefield fieldname} = "XYZ" "{Includetext "c:\\path\\filename.doc"}"}
