Conditional Images in Word Merge Wizard

Brian Bates 2

Checking to see if anyone has had any luck in using conditional images in the word merge wizard and if so how?


Scenario is such:


We have multiple funds.  And within those funds, based upon a gift amount, the letters are either hand signed by a volunteer or the CDO signature is embedded automatically.


I know we can do conditional merge on fund  OR we can do a conditional merge on gift amount . . . what I would like to do is have the primary conditional merge be on FUND and then within the word document itself, have a conditional that embeds the signature or leaves it blank.  Any brilliant minds out there willing to share?


Thanks!

I did this a long time ago and I think I remember that I had to put the signature image inside a text box.  I can test it a bit later and get back to you with the details.

I just tested it and was able to use a IF THEN statement and just insert the image between the quotes for the true result, like this:


I'm now thinking that I had to use a text box to keep the signature in the correct place on the page.  Or maybe you don't need a text box at all.


I tested this in Word 2013 outside of RE.  Not sure if it will work the same way when set up as a Mail Merge in RE.

That worked amazingly!!!  Thank you!
