Creating Conditional Paragraph Breaks With Mail Merge
Thanks Doug and Peter - got it working just as I wanted now.
Very helpful - much obliged!!!

Where ¶ appears in the above construction, press the Enter key. You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of the field delimiters. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "SamuelT" wrote in message ... Hi all, I'm putting together a mail merged document and am having a slight problem when it comes to paragraph breaks. Basically, a number of entrants need a few paragraphs on the letter. Getting the text in is no problem at all (it's in the spreadsheet that is feeding the merge). However, when a person who does not need the extra paragraphs in is brought up Word leaves the paragraph breaks in, which leaves ugly big spaces in between the information. Can anyone suggest a means of adding paragraph breaks on the document, without actually 'hard coding' it in the Word document. I'm thinking possibly some code in the merge tags themselves. Any help appreciated! SamuelT |
