Merge
I have completed a merge, but upon viewing the results, have empty spaces
where I had inserted fields. All fields do not apply to all people receiving the letter. Example; one client has one spouse and three kids (Dear Maggie, Michael, Jorge and John but another has no spouse, one kid Dear John . How can I get these extra spaces to not appear where the spouses or kids names would have been for the other client? I thought I knew how to use merge, but I am SO confused.... |
