missing field creates a space when printing labels
Some names in my data source do not have a title field. Their records show a
space when printing on labels. How can I remove this blank space? |

You need to use an IF field to control the space. { IF TITLE "" " "}
You can do this with the Merge toolbar Merge Fields. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

If you copy and paste your existing mailmerge field, which probably looks
something like: «Title» so that you've got: «Title»«Title» then select both fields and Press Ctrl-F9, you'll get: { «Title»«Title» } If you then fill in between the braces so that you've got: {IF«Title»= "" "" "«Title» "} and delete the space(s) after the existing «Title» field, that should give the result you're after.
