title: Question marks in Word mail merge if statement
body: <p>I'm drafting a mail merge document that involves some if statements. In some conditions there are quotation marks in one of the output statements. Let me give an analogous example.</p>
  
  <p>Imagine you're generating report cards, and you have a list of students and whether they've read chapter 9 of the textbook. If they've read the chapter, the output should read,</p>
  
  <p><strong>Your daughter has read the chapter "Laplace's Contribution to Calculus"</strong>
  or
  <strong>Your daughter has not done the reading</strong></p>
  
  <p>This can be coded as</p>
  
  <p>{ IF { MERGEFIELD CHAPTERREAD } = "Y" "<strong>Your daughter has read the chapter "Laplace's Contribution to Calculus"</strong>" "<strong>Your daughter has not done the reading</strong>" }</p>
  
  <p>except that the title of the chapter has quotation marks in it that interfere with the syntax of the if statement. How can I insert a set of quotation marks in the if statement?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help.</p>
  
  <p>Peter</p>
