Conditional IF statement The IF statement is used in the document template to make decisions about optional content to be inserted into the document. If statements use the value of fields from the form or other hardcoded values to evaluate. IF statements can use and, or and use bracketing for precedence.
In addition the designer must place a bookmark around the IF statement in the Document Template, this will define what is to be removed if the statement evaluates to false.
This figure shows an IF statement contained in a Word 2007 bookmark.
