VBA MS Word conditional formatting

Question

I have a VBA code that gives a value in a variable and then adds the variable in a document

Dim NoGFIs As Integer
NoGFIs = 1
ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="GFIs ", Value:=NoGFIs 

and I used a conditional statement in the word document

No of GFIs: {DOCVARIABLE GFIs}
Check IF: {IF <<GFIs>> = 1 "ONE" "NOT ONE"

But the outcome shows that something is wrong:

No of GFIs: 1
Check IF: NOT ONE

It shows that the GFIs value gets out from the VBA to the document, but IF fails to evaluate it?? Has anyone seen anything like that before?

Answer 1

Your if condition seems to be wrong. Please try the below:

{ IF { DOCVARIABLE GFIs \\* MERGEFORMAT } = 1 "ONE" "NOT ONE"\\* MERGEFORMAT }

Also, did you notice the trailing space in your variable name "GFIs " in ActiveDocument.Variables.Add Name:="GFIs ", Value:=NoGFIs ?
