Why does a space precede the name in the address block?
When I review my mailmerge document in WORD 2002, a space appears before the
recipients first name in the ADDRESS BLOCK. I have tried everything to remove it but have not been successful. If I edit each letter I can delete the space but I would not want to do that with a large number of letters. Because of this space, the greeting is wrong because the name is not recognized. I would appreciate a solution. |

Generall speaking you are better off not using the Address block, although
the alternative is often more complex: use individual fields, e.g. { MERGEFIELD FirstName }{ MERGEFIELD MifddleInitial \b " " }{ MERGEFIELD LastName \b " " } and so on.

Peter, thank you for your reply. I do not understand how to do what you have
suggested. Where can I find more information so I can learn how to do this?
