I suspect what Doug meant was
{ Mergefield "Item1" }{ IF { Mergefield "Item2" } "" "[Enter]
{ Mergefield "Item2" }" }{ IF{ Mergefield "Item3" } "" "[Enter]
{ Mergefield "Item3" }" }
It is easy to lose an odd bracket when typing field structures.
The structure is essentially
{ IF{ Mergefield "Item3" } "" "[Enter]
{ Mergefield "Item3" }" }
The double quotes for a nul entry are superfluous but you can include them
if you like
{ IF{ Mergefield "Item3" } "" "[Enter]
{ Mergefield "Item3" }" "" }

Thanks Doug,
I meant to say that my field should say:
{MERGEFIELD "Item1"}{IF {MERGEFIELD "Item1"} " " ----those
quotes should have no space, but I noticed that this site deletes it
if I dont put a space there..
What I dont get is that there are 5 brackets, but each time you hit
ctrl+F9 , you get 2 brackets. So I dont undersatnd the procedure in
building the statement itself. I already have a past Word doc that
was used with all the fields, so I think the Access will be my backup
plan.
