Unfortunately for the purposes of trying to find the problem, it works OK
here :-)
Would it help you if I e-mailed you the incredibly simple test version and
data I have to see if it works OK at your end?
Which version of Word are you using?

Unfortunately, no. I've tried many combinations of moving and removing
line breaks and page breaks to no avail.
Have any other suggestions or methods I can try?
Thanks, though, Peter.

Isn't it because of the paragraph mark at the end of this line:
}{SET Donor1 {MERGEFIELD Company }}¶?

Here it is again. Thanks in advance for your help:
{IF {MERGESEQ} = 1"¶
¶
" "" }{SET Donor1 {MERGEFIELD Company }}¶
{ IF {Donor1} {Donor2}"¶
¶
{MERGEFIELD Company}¶
¶
Dear {MERGEFIELD FirstName},¶
¶
----------------------------------- PageBreak
-----------------------------------------
Here are your guests:¶
{MERGEFIELD Guest1}¶
{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" "{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" }{SET Donor2 {MERGEFIELD
Company} }¶
----------------------------------- PageBreak
-----------------------------------------
Note: Even if I remove the last ¶ and page break the additional Guest2
names have a line break before them.

It would be easier to debug this if you included all of the field
constructions, inserting a ¶ (Alt+0182 on the numeric keypad) where you
have
an enter or shift+enter in the field constructions.

Hey all:
I've created a merge based somewhat on these instructions:
http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815
that allows me to group similar records to display on one page.
For example: I have two tables: Registrants and Guests. Registrants
contains a list of companies and the main attendee, while Guests
contains additional people attending. These tables are linked through
an ID field and I'm able to display all the guests for a given company
on one page in my merge document. One problem... when a company has
more than two additional guests I get a line break before each
additional guest. Below is a snippit of what the code looks like. In
this example the records are grouped on Company.
------------------------------------
{IF {MERGESEQ} = 1"
" "" }{SET Donor1 {MERGEFIELD Company }}
{ IF {Donor1} {Donor2}"
{MERGEFIELD Company}
Dear {MERGEFIELD FirstName},
Here are your guests:
{MERGEFIELD Guest1}
{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" "{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" }{SET Donor2 {MERGEFIELD
Company} }
____________________
Here's the weird part... If I put any characters, line breaks or page
breaks after the last } each additional Guest2 will have a line break
before it. If I make it the last line on a page, the list of Guests
appears in one block.
Any thoughts???
