WORKAROUND
When the comparison is set up to select a number greater or less than
another value, such as {If {MERGEFIELD number} > 70 "True condition
statement" "False condition statement"}, fields that contain text will also
be printed. This is because Word considers all text to have a greater
"value" than numbers.
To instruct Word to return only numeric values, use a nested IF statement.
One that restricts text and one that returns the correct numeric
value. For example:
{If {MERGEFIELD number} > 70 "{If {MERGEFIELD NUMBER} < "A"
"{MERGEFIELD number" " "} " "}
Word 6.x for the Macintosh
{If {MERGEFIELD number} > 70 "{If {MERGEFIELD NUMBER} < "A"
"{MERGEFIELD number" " "} " "}
The nested IF Statement requests text less than "A" and therefore returns
no text in the field with text entries, and it then requests numbers
greater than 70 for those records with numeric values over 70.
Word 98 Macintosh Edition
{If {MERGEFIELD number} > 70 "{If {MERGEFIELD NUMBER} < "a"
"{MERGEFIELD number" " "} " "}
The nested IF Statement requests text less than "a" and therefore returns
no text in the field with text entries, and it then requests numbers
greater than 70 for those records with numeric values over 70.
