Mail Merge Questions... New to Mail Merge and on a Mac
Let me commend Word's "Help" function to you. I know it's possible to do what you ask in your second question. I just did a quick search in the Help area, using "conditional mail merge" as my search term and came up with the following:
I don't know about the check marks (ticks) question... You might be able to save time and energy if you could come up with a text-based alternative. E.g., using a "Y" or "X" to indicate the same thing that you want the checked box to indicate.
Mail merge, though, as you might expect, can handle a lot of tricky things. This "conditional" or "if...then...else" is a fairly basic function. It no doubt will take a bit of fooling around. And it might be a matter, not of removing that Apt # field if blank, but rather of using it if filled. But either way, I know it can be made to work.

Thank you I didn't think to use "conditional" in my search ( I feel like I used every other word then that). I saw videos that showed how but they were all PC so I was not able to follow, but thank you so much I will try this and let you know!!
