Mail Merge Help
Hi,
I am having poblems with mail merge i have put the following feilds ina document: «First Name» «Last Name» «First_line_of_address» «Second_Line» «City» «County» «Country» «Postcode» They are all linked to excel, but the problem i have is that when i merge the fields that are blank do not delete although i have seleced them not to print in word. Fo example some people might not have a second line of address so it will show as blank in word but should not print blank in print run but should delete the blank field instead. Hope that makes sense i just don't know what i am doing wrong. Adam |

Blank lines are not suppressed if they end in line breaks, only if they end
in paragraph breaks. If you want to end the lines with line breaks, then you need to insert the merge field *and* the line break in an IF field that tests for blankness. -- Suzanne S.
