Can Word be set up NOT to print empty lines
I am using Word and a database to issue standard letters to clients.
Is it possible to put some code, or a macro of some sort or format the standard letter so that any blank lines are not printed. By blank lines, I do not mean empty data fields. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Graham. |

If you aren't referring to empty data fields then simply do not
include the "blank lines" when you create your letters. As the creator of the document you are the one in control of what is included. If this isn't what you are referring to then please be more specific as to what you mean by "blank lines". -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Blank lines in a document are the result of pressing the Enter/Return key
twice each time creating a pilcrow (¶). If you click on the Show/Hide button on the tool bar to display blanks and other contol characters. You will probably see:¶ ¶ ¶ Following paragraph.

Yes, I'm aware of how many users create 'blank lines". However when
you press Enter to create a 'blank line" it isn't really blank. What you have is an empty paragraph. I'm trying ascertain what Graham is referring to by 'blank lines'. One can use spacing before/after a paragraph, the vertical alignment for the document could be set to Justified, there are numerous scenarios here. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
