Generall speaking you are better off not using the Address block, although
the alternative is often more complex:

use individual fields, e.g.

{ MERGEFIELD FirstName }{ MERGEFIELD MifddleInitial \b " " }{ MERGEFIELD
LastName \b " " }

and so on.

When I review my mailmerge document in WORD 2002, a space appears before
the
recipients first name in the ADDRESS BLOCK. I have tried everything to
remove it but have not been successful. If I edit each letter I can
delete
the space but I would not want to do that with a large number of letters.
Because of this space, the greeting is wrong because the name is not
recognized. I would appreciate a solution.
