i need to create multiple template options when in an EE entry mode.
Very simply, if the content is just in the body field, the a single column CSS displays.
If a content is entered additionally to extended fields, then I need to display a 3 column CSS.
Can someone sample if-statements using the {body} {summary} {extended} tags?
I want to be able to organize my layouts based on templates.
If there is another way to do this,... then please ablige.
Much appreciated.

Do you mean something somewhat similar to this?

It all depends on how your design is, but why not try something like:
{exp.weblog entries}
{if extended}
3 column design -
<div1>{body}</div>
<div2>{extended}</div>
<div3>{summary}</div>
{if:else}
1 column design - <div4>{body}</div>
{/if}
{/exp.weblog entries}
And make sure they have different ids so that you can layout them as you want.

Nice one Yvonne!
Another way would be to just add a class to the body tag depending on there being an extended field or not and then style accordingly in your stylesheet.
{exp.weblog entries}
<body {if extended}class="has_extended"{if:else}class="single_column"{/if}
>{/exp.weblog entries}
