Showing todays date when the Excel value is zero
 

Hi, this problem is really frustrating me so if you can help I would really
appreciate it.

I am using Word 2003 and Excel 2003 to do a mailmerge and I am having a
problem with todays date being inserted in the Word document when the Excel
value is zero. I would either like to show the date that is entered in the
Excel sheet or nothing if the Excel value is zero.

My entry in the Word document is:
{IF{MERGEFIELD E_Start} = 0 "" {MERGEFIELD E_Start \@ "d MMMM yyyy}

Where am I going wrong?

Many thanks
David Hall

Showing today’s date when the Excel value is zero
 

Asking in an excel newsgroup! <vbg.

I bet more MSWord users use this kind of thing than excel. If you don't get an
answer here, you may want to post in one of those MSWord newsgroups.
