eliminate trailing spaces in a mail merge field
How can I eliminate trailing spaces on an individual merge field?
The mail merge data source is directly from a mainframe-generated header-ed semi-colon delimited .txt file (Excel/Access not an option) where the fields are all a fixed-length, but the values are not always the maximum field length. (text qualifiers such as " are not used). I want to eliminate these spaces in the letter text. Ex. CALL TIME field on the data source has a physical length of 20 positions, but may have the values DURING THE DAY or AT NIGHT |
