Mail Merge (SKIPIF Static text??)

Hi - Does anybody know if there is a way of skipping static text? Specific a table?

I have a Word Template that has a series of tables that populate from my source data- but if there is not data in the source (or if I SKIPIF) all the data, I would like to NOT display the headers of the table.

I tried putting my SKIPIF statement before the table headers, but no luck.

Any clues?

Thanks Paul. I'm not sure I quite understand how to use IF to only output the table if there is data for it... attached is a sample of a couple tables i'm working on. Regardless of whether data is there or not, the headers display. How would I leverage IF to not show those headers?

Hi Paul - Thank you for demonstrating how to include the tables into the IF statements. Could I bother you to look at one final attachment if you can? I tested 2 different means of putting tables into IF statements... Both ways work for me - however i'm noticing that if the first table has no data from the source, it will not display the table (as expected), however once one IF statement tests true, all tables below it will test true as well and display the headers without data.

So in my example attached I have 3 IF statements
If Statement 1 tests true, then 2 and 3 will both display with no data
If Statement 1 tests false, but statement 2 tests true, then Statement 3 will display with no data
If statement 3 is the only one that tests true, then 1 and 2 will not display (as expected) and Statement 3 will display (as expected).

Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong or, if this is a side-effect of my using a 3rd party product that integrates with MailMerge?

Ha... yeah, you're right I did change it around quite a bit from what you initially provided me. I realized the first time I uploaded an attachment, I was missing all the TableStart/TableEnd's. I did not know I could place the table - with all the other code within an IF statement - so I attempted to follow the logic you provided but placed the TableStarts/Ends where I thought they needed to be (hence the varying attempts at a TableStart outside the IF and a TableStart within the IF.

However, after all the code is complete, I'm still getting the same end result. I can get each IF statement to work (display with data, not display IF not data) independently. Additionally, if all 3 test true, all 3 display properly. If all 3 test false, all do not display (properly). Depending on which one is on top of the code, the other 2 do not work. (and will display headers even without data so long as the IF above it tests true).
