Thanks Doug. I was afraid that was the only option I might have. I didn't
want to mess with all that, so I created a table to line everything up
regardless of whether the field was empty or not.

I appreciate your response.

I have blank fields in some of my contacts for a mail merge in Word 2007.
I
have a mail merge template. I want to make sure that the blank lines
print
so that the rest of the data will line up correctly. I can't find where
to
do this.
