In an MS Word 2003 mailmerge document I have inserted an if...then...else field. The data in the field being queried contains a string, such as "ar su qs". What I want is, if the field includes "ar", then display "architect", otherwise display "" (ie nothing). How do I use a wildcard - eg *ar* - to return the result where "ar" is amongst other characters?
