Try doing it without using the AddressBlock field. Instead, just insert the
actual mergefields in the configuration that you want them.

Hi there

I'm using the below code for my mail merge.

Problem is that when there is a "/" in the Street1 or Street2 fields, I
get
a bunch of characters on that line that shouldn't be there.

Can anyone shed any light as to what might be going wrong - I built this
statement by looking around on the net - I'm very much a novice when it
comes
to this stuff.

If it is relevant, I'm using Word 2003 with the data being pulled from an
Excel 2003 spreadsheet.

EDIT - here is the code!

{ if { MERGEFIELD "ShipToName" } = "same as billing" "{ADDRESSBLOCK \F"
_FIRST0__LAST0__SUFFIX0_
_STREET1_
_STREET2_
_CITY_, _STATE_ _POSTAL_" \l 1033 \c 0 \e "" \* UPPER }"
"{MERGEFIELD "ShipToName" \* UPPER }
{ MERGEFIELD "ShipToAddress1" \* UPPER }
{ MERGEFIELD "ShipToAddress2" \* UPPER }
{ MERGEFIELD "ShipToCity" \* UPPER } { MERGEFIELD "ShipToState" \* UPPER }
{ MERGEFIELD "ShipToPostalCode" }"}


Thanks
