Graham,
Sorry - my head is full of mince today!
I'm afraid I'm not too clued up on mail merges and don't know what a
conditional field is. Can you please elaborate on this for me? My data
source is coming from Access in case that is a problem.

Graham,
I have tried it with the AddressBlock. Unfortunately I have a number
of fields and cannot match them in the Required Information Match
Fields dialagoe box resulting in a lot of my information being
omitted. I have tried matching them in the Optional Information but
this does not appear.
Unfortunately I cannot insert the fields after the AddressBlock as
these fields are required after the LastName and before Address1.

For any of your question to be relevant you must be using the
AddressBlock field. Don't! Insert the individual fields as you
require them. You can then use a conditional field to insert the
FirstName field when a condition applies eg
{IF{Mergefield FirstName} "Fred" "{Mergefield FirstName}"}

I have a mail merge with Prefix, FirstName, Surname, etc.
For various reasons when sending out mail some people should only
have their Prefix and Surname shown. I need to have their FirstName
in the merge as I use it for a large amount of other documents
otherwise I would remove it.
I have tried the "If...Then...Else" but it doesn't work and I can't
use the Skip button as this is for the entire record. Is there
another way of doing it?
Thank you.
