LIST_Table in MS Word

Right out of the User's Guide....

<<LIST_TABLE(Candidate.HighSchool,’Name’)>>

Can anyone advise why the above tag is not acceptable to the compiler? It seems to be squawking about what is used for quotes, though I've tried just about everything.

Try using a pair of ' or ` around Name, for example 'Name' or `Name`. Both of these apostrophe characters should be found on a standard keyboard and should work fine inside tag elements.

The compiler accepts that and runs, but nothing prints. Does this need to be preceded with a FIND tag or anything?

Now I have some success, it seems it would not produce anything with only one attribute listed.

Is Candidate.HighSchool a multiple-allowed attribute? If not, you do not need LIST_TABLE and can use a tag like this instead:

<<Candidate.HighSchool.Name>>

This assumes that Candidate object is available in the context when the document is generated, otherwise nothing will be printed.
