Hi John,

You could use:
{IF«merit_pay» 0 "«merit_pay»¶
"}
or:
{MERGEFIELD merit_pay \# "'Merit $',0.00¶
;;"}
where the '¶' is an actual carriage return or manual line-break.

I've got a mail merge document that has a separate line for some numeric
amounts
(Base Pay, Adjustment, Merit Pay, etc.). The IF-THEN-ELSE statement I am
using works: ({IF {MERGEFIELD} merit_pay} 0 "Merit ${MERGEFIELD}
merit_pay}"""}
but if merit_pay IS zero, it leaves a blank line in the document. How do I
get it to remove the blank line. The user wants all of the amounts to show,
on separate lines, lined up, but to not show any lines if there is no data on
that line AND she doesn't want the blank line to show either. She wants
subsequent lines to 'float up'.
