Default Word 2007 Blank fields

At the risk of too many double negatives in one sentance ... no that is not
what I am seeing !

ie "Mr B Mann","1 Acacia Road","New Town","","NT1 1AA"

gives

Mr B Mann
1 Acacia Road
New Town

NT1 1AA

I've also put the 'markers on' and as far as I can see there is nothing else
on the line

Thanks

Andrew

As far as I can see, the lines are suppressed when the field is empty,
i.e. "", but not if there is any space in it, e.g. " "

Is that what you are seeing or not?

Hi all

Just loaded Office 2007 to try it out

Just did a quick merge test with a CSV file

If the field in the CSV is blank ie "" then even though there is nothing
else on the line in the master document it prints a blank line ?

Has some default changed somewhere ?

How can I get it to automatically take out blank lines ?

Thanks in advance

Andrew
