Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the same behavior as MS Word does. You can work with IF fields and mail merge using Aspose.Words.

Could you please attach your input and expected output Word documents here for our reference? We will then provide you more information about your query along with code.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

PFA three documents : 1) master 2) output of document IF WORK_STATE=TN 3) output of document IF WORK_STATE=AP

While processing the document i will get WORK_STATE VALUE FROM database and the same will be evaluated during document process and display output.

Hi

I have read that but my question was how do i hide text below if condition based on evaluation.

if (state = “TamilNadu”)
sample text sample text

if (state = “Banglore”)
sample text1 sample text1

during evaluation if state value was Delhi then i want to remove the whole text which was mentioned above. if state value was Banglore i want to display only sample text sample text1 and remove above one in the output document.
