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???
