There is a space at the beginning of the first line of the addressblock in my
merge document. When I turn on the format editor, I can see it. I am sure
that the space does not exist in the data source. I have not been able to
modify the formatting of the addressblock to remove it,or manipulate the data
such that it goes away. My idea was to write a macro that would move through
the document and remove the space. I have not been successful with this
either.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Instead of using the address block use the individual fields that make up
the address in your merge documents and you can then control exactly what
you wish to appear.
