Format part of a Mergefield conditional text result


e.g. in Word document, say there is a section like:

{ IF { MERGEFIELD SomeCondition } = "True" "hello there world" "" }

where { } are the special word merge field parts, which show when you press ALT+F9.
In the above, when SomeCondition is True, I want the text "hello there world" to appear. This all works well. However, is it possible to get only the word "there" above, to be displayed in bold? I tried formatting the word to be in bold in Word, but when output, it did not display in bold.


Solution

  • You can do it by creating an Auto Text

    You can now delete the formatted text from the document if needed.
    After this the saved formatted text will appear when the condition is fulfilled.
