Stop text from moving on page
I have a word doc formatted to print precisely with perforations at the
bottom. I need the text from the body of the letter down to stay in place. However, when I merge the doc with the data source, the body of the letter will move up a line to compensate for any record that does not have two address lines. How do I anchor or lock the body of the letter (text) so that it does not move up a line when Addr02 is null (see below)?

Stop text from moving on page
Hi Cat,
If you place your mergefields inside a single-celled table with the row height formatted as 'exact' ( to match a merge with four lines), the rest of the document will retain its layout regardless of how many lines are in the merged data.
