Fields in ZIP Code
How do I remove a 'space' character from the start of my UK Postal codes in
mailmerge using Office XP? I created a new list of recipients. I changed the words ZIP code to Postcode by renaming the field. Everything looks OK until I merge the document. The UK Postcode looks like *BD2 2AH on the document and it should look like BD2 2AH. The * is the space character. Any advice would be welcome. |

Fields in ZIP Code
Where is the data coming from?
There are only two ways you can get a space here. 1. It's in the data. 2. You have inserted a space in front of the field. However your earlier post seems to suggest you are using the AddressBlock field. Don't! Use the individual fields. Incidentally it doesn't matter whether the field is called Zip or PostCode. It's what it contains that is important. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm may help. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jenny wrote: How do I remove a 'space' character from the start of my UK Postal codes in mailmerge using Office XP?

Hi Jenny,
You can't do that in the mailmerge document - you'll need to change the source. Cheers "Jenny" wrote in message ...
