Default Address List

Thanks!

Create a catalog/directory merge document. Put the fields that you want to
display (when present) on the page, followed by sufficient space to
separate the entries. DO NOT add a NEXT field! Then merge your data
source.

You may need to conditionally insert some of the fields so as not to leave
blank spaces eg

{Mergefield FirstName}{Mergefield LastName}
{Mergefield Address1}{IF{ Mergefield Address2} "" "
{Mergefield Address2}"}{IF{ Mergefield Address3} "" "
{Mergefield Address2}"}etc

Is there a way to create an address book list from contacts using
MailMerge that will create variable height results. I know I can
pick a label size but all the addresses will be the same height
whether all the lines exist or not.

One page might have 10 names and addresses where another might have
15.
I.e. The two examples should be different heights and take more or
less space on a page based on the number of rows available.
