Can anyone suggest a simple and elegant way to replace all missing mail merge fields with static text?
I do not require any logic to the text or the mail merge field. Quite simply, the scenario is:

if mailmergefield.ismissing then replace mailmergefield.text with “SORRY DATA IS MISSING”

Hi David,

Thanks for your inquiry. One simple way to achieve this as follows:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\a.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[]
{
    "a",
    "d"
}, new object[]
{
    1,
    4
});
string[] remainingMergeFields = doc.MailMerge.GetFieldNames();
foreach(string fieldName in remainingMergeFields)
{
    builder.MoveToMergeField(fieldName);
    builder.Write("SORRY DATA IS MISSING");
}
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

I hope, this helps.

Best Regards,
