How do I insert a default into a blank merge field?
I am typing up a merge document where not every field has a corresponding
entry. How can I create a default where these fields are filled in with a blank line? |

How do I insert a default into a blank merge field?
Use an If...then...Else... field
{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } "" { MERGEFIELD fieldname } "__________________" } You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } -- Hope this helps.
