Hi Bill,
In Word- .. delete the existing space after the initial field. .. duplicate the initials mailmerge field (eg «Init») so that you get: «Init»«Init»; .. select both fields and Press Ctrl-F9, you'll get: { «Init»«Init» }; .. fill in between the braces so that you end up with: {IF«Init»= "" "" "«Init» "}; .. position the cursor anywhere in this field and press F9 to update it; .. run your mailmerge. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Bill B."
