I have seen many post on how to suppress blanks lines in a merge ( address
line 2 is blank so don't print it). My Problem is I cannot figure out how to
write the If statment. I've seen posts that show the actual merge with the IF
in it but for the life of me I can not reporduce it. I've tried the Rule
option but I can't figure how to enter the merge fields.. I tried typing
directly into the doc but that gets treated as text. I know I'm just missing
some simple process step but I cannot figure it out or find it in help. MS
Word help does not seem to address this process. I can find unlimited methods
to skip records but not blank fields. The address block is not an option
because it cannot be mapped accurately with the data files I work with plus
it always comes in as 1.5 spacing and I can't turn that off. To make a long
story short hwo do I enter if address_line_2 is blank skip it and print/merge
the city,st,zip line right beneath address_line_1

Thanks
