I am using Word and OL 2007.

When I use "mailing address" as a merge field, it pulls the correct info
into my letter, but has what looks to be about a 6 pt blank space between
street address and then c/s/z.

When I highight the offending section and look under page layout, the
"spacing after" is blank. When I hit the down arrow, it reverts to 0, and the
spacing is now correct. I then save the document and then re-run the merge,
but the space comes back. What am I missing?

It seems like you might be using the AddressBlock and that one of the fields
that it is using from the data source does not contain any data. Instead of
using the AddressBlock, just insert the individual mergefields in the
configuration that you want them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Is "address 1" always the mailing address?

By the way, I may want to take you up on some consulting services. Can you
provide info on how that works, fees, etc?
