17.14.13 dynamicAddress

This element specifies that the contents of the AddressBlock MERGEFIELD field shall be dynamically ordered based on the country associated with the current record or if the country-invariant version of the address field shall be used in its place. [Rationale: When a source document is combined with the contents of a data source in order to produce multiple merged documents, it is often necessary to use an address form specific to the

destination country for each particular record in the data source, rather than one static address form for all records. end rationale] If this element is set to true, then the mail merge shall use an address form suited to the country associated with the current record in the external data source.

If this element is omitted, then the form of the address shall be dynamically determined based on the country specified in the current record.

[Example: Consider a merged WordprocessingML document that is specified to not dynamically create the address field order based on the country associated with the current record. This requirement might be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:fieldMapData>
  …
  <w:dynamicAddress w:val="off" />
</w:fieldMapData>

The dynamicAddress element is set to a value of off, specifying that the dynamic address format must not be used when performing a mail merge with the specified data source. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
