Hi ?B?R2VydCBSYWVz?=,

Maybe I missed it at Cindy's site but :

It's actually a quite simple document
{MERGEFIELD M_1}
{MERGEFIELD M_2} {NEXT}
This goes on for pages and at the end there is a line without a {NEXT}

But for example: if my document contains 1000 of these lines and my
datasource has only 250 entries, I end up with a lot of blank lines....

None of the techniques that give a "good" result use the NEXT field. One
uses a DATABASE field to generate at table for the results. The other a
complex combination of SET and IF fields. In both cases, there's a link
to documentation that explains the approach in detail. The DATABASE field
approach is simpler to set up, but the other one gives you more
flexibility in how the result will look.
