INPBLANK Function

The INPBLANK function returns 1 or 0 based on whether or not an input paragraph is blank.

Syntax

INPBLANK("Input paragraph tag")

Returns 1 if the input paragraph is blank or 0 if it is not. Also returns 1 if the paragraph tag does not exist or the paragraph is a non-input paragraph.

Example 1

INPBLANK("summary")

Returns 1 if the input paragraph with the paragraph tag "summary" is blank or 0 if the input paragraph contains content.

Example 2

INPBLANK("nonInputPara")

Returns 1 regardless of whether or not the paragraph is blank, as "nonInputPara" is the paragraph tag of a non-input paragraph in the document.
