mail merge greeting-why are spaces added
when I do a mail merge spaces are sometimes added.
ie Mr. Jones Mr. Adams one space sometimes and sometimes 2 spaces are added instead. When I manually try to remove it, when I print it, it reverts to two spaces Any ideas? |

Assuming the space is not in your data source, then we need more information
about what you are doing - Word version, data source, what fields you have inserted and how they are laid out etc., -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org fustrated165 wrote: when I do a mail merge spaces are sometimes added. ie Mr. Jones Mr. Adams one space sometimes and sometimes 2 spaces are added instead.

Does your data source have FirstName (or Initial) as a field which is blank
for some people? "fustrated165" wrote in message ... when I do a mail merge spaces are sometimes added. ie Mr. Jones Mr. Adams one space sometimes and sometimes 2 spaces are added instead. When I manually try to remove it, when I print it, it reverts to two spaces Any ideas? |

If you are using the GREETINGLINE field, it may be because you have chosen
the layout that inserts "Mr. Joshua Randall Jr." In that case, if there is a firstname field, you will get courtesytitlespacefirstnamespacelastname but if there is no firstname, you will get courtesytitlespacespacelastname - if you use ctrl-F9 to examine the contents of the GREETINGLINE field, it is fairly clear to me why this is so. I wouldn't try to work around this by editing the GREETINGLINE field - it's probably better - though not particularly easy - to insert individual fields with the logic necessary to insert the spaces you need. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "fustrated165" wrote in message ... when I do a mail merge spaces are sometimes added. ie Mr. Jones Mr. Adams one space sometimes and sometimes 2 spaces are added instead.
