Can table cells shading be conditional on data in a merge database

[Mike F]

I'd like to use a word document containing tables as the basis of a merge
document. The database will contain certain numbers and I would like to
colour-shade certain numbers of table cells according to the numerical data
in the database.

Anyone suggest how to do this??

By the use of an If...then...Else field construction that returned
mergefields to which the Charformat switch was added, you could control the
colour of the font for the result, but not the shading of the cells.

If would be necessary to use VBA to control the colour-shade of the cells.

Alternatively, one could use an If...then...Else field construction to output different tables, shaded according to whatever the
colouring criteria are.
