Default Make word leave spaces when fields are blank

Thanks! I'm not familiar with VBA, but the other option worked. After I
posted yesterday, I checked for further past questions and actually found the
information from you to another user about the same issue. I should have
checked more before posting, but I didn't know how much more time I had to
look. I really appreciate your input -- it was a life-saver for completing a
government form available only in PDF. I can now print the forms, put them
in the printer, and print the data onto them using a Word merge doc and an
Excel data doc. The last time we filled about 14 of these out manually, it
took us 4 hours. My 3 hours yesterday (and about 50 sheets of paper to make
the data line up with the blanks on the form) will be well worth the time.
Thanks again!
