Temproaryly hide a merge field even if full of data

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi Julian
    The users want to have a mail merge field removed when emailing a letter but want it there if printing.

    Some times the one letter will be printed then email of visa versa.

    What is the best way to hide a merge field in a temproary way. It would be good to hide the seemingly empty space as well. Then if the issue method needs the merge field I can show it again.

    TIA

    Hi,

    To hide a merge field (including contents) the best way is to hide the insertpoints (InsertPointTextAttr.Hidden - see manual) and remove its contents by using the merge process.

    This of course can only work, if the contents are stored seperatly as well, in a database for example.

    V6 has a new possibility: ShowFields - here the merge fields are reduced to the name, automatically.

    Regards,
    Julian
