Default mailmerge

how does one insert a comma that will print between the lastname and suffix
fields in a mailmerge; eg John Jones, B.Sc.? I'm using Word and Excel for the
database. all other functions are OK, including a coma between fields for
city and state, eg Syracuse, New York. I can't get the comma to print between
last name and suffix.

You should start a new thread for a new topic, however what you need here is
a conditional field.

{Mergefield LastName}{IF {Mergefield Suffix} "" ", {Mergefield Suffix}"}
should do the trick (change the field names to reflect your data).
