Mail merge toggle field codes number format

A very specific question!

In Microsoft Word's mail merge feature, toggle field codes allow you to dynamically switch between different field codes or text. When it comes to number formatting, you can use the NUMFORMAT field code to specify the format of a numeric field.

Here's an example of how you can use a toggle field code to switch between different number formats:

Suppose you have a field called Amount that contains a numeric value, and you want to display it in either currency format or decimal format depending on a toggle field called CurrencyFormat.

You can use the following syntax:

{ IF { TGL "CurrencyFormat" } = "True" THEN "\$#,##0.00" ELSE "#,##0.00" }

Here's how it works:

• { TGL "CurrencyFormat" } is the toggle field code that checks the value of the CurrencyFormat field. If it's True, the code inside the IF statement will be executed.
• IF { TGL "CurrencyFormat" } = "True" THEN checks if the value of the CurrencyFormat field is True. If it is, the code inside the THEN clause will be executed.
• \$#,##0.00 is the currency format you want to apply if the CurrencyFormat field is True.
• ELSE specifies the alternative format to use if the CurrencyFormat field is not True.
• #,##0.00 is the decimal format you want to apply if the CurrencyFormat field is not True.

When you merge the document, the NUMFORMAT field code will be replaced with the specified format depending on the value of the CurrencyFormat toggle field.

Note that you can customize the number formats to suit your specific needs. For example, you can use #,##0 for a plain decimal format or #,##0.00 for a decimal format with two decimal places.
