I posted this question in another forum, but it might be more appropriate here. I have created a conditional footer that is supposed to only appear on the last page. I used the following code: { IF { PAGE } = { NUMPAGES } " { EMBED Word.Document.12 \s }" ""} It worked fine until I tried to utilize mail merge. Now it does not appear on the first page, but does appear on all subsequent pages. Apparently, after the merge, there a Section Break is created that seems to be the culprit. It was suggested that I try { SECTIONPAGES } but that put the footer on all pages. Thanks in advance.

{={NUMPAGES}-{PAGE} # ";;'{ EMBED Word.Document.12 \s}'"} 3 additional answers Anonymous 2013-11-13T21:27:25+00:00 Bam! I tried the double quote. It was the single quote that was getting me.

They get evaluated and converted to plain text immediately the merge runs. Instead, you could use: {={NUMPAGES}-{PAGE} # ;;{ EMBED Word.Document.12 \s}} 0 comments No comments You can't use IF fields for this.
