Thanks Doug,

I meant to say that my field should say:

{MERGEFIELD "Item1"}{IF {MERGEFIELD "Item1"} " " ----those
quotes should have no space, but I noticed that this site deletes it if
I dont put a space there..

What I dont get is that there are 5 brackets, but each time you hit
ctrl+F9 , you get 2 brackets. So I dont undersatnd the procedure in
building the statement itself. I already have a past Word doc that was
used with all the fields, so I think the Access will be my backup plan.
