I have a letter template with fields such as recipient name, and several
address fields. The problem is that if the user leaves any of these fields
empty, a blank line is inserted in the document, in this address section.

Is there a way for these fields to be automatically deleted from the
document, once the template is assembled.

Thank you,
Alicia

I assume that you are talking about formfields as used in a protected
document. I would not use that type of field in a letter template. Better
to use a UserForm and then construct the address block from the data entered
into the userform.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:
