Default Need to eliminate double spaced address field in mail merge

When performing a mail merge in Word, there are spaces between the lines in
the address fields (which comes from an XL spreadsheet data source).

I need to eliminate the spaces between the lines, of course.

Thanks,
Chris

Format the address with a style that doesn't have inter-paragraph spacing.

Select everything in the mailmerge main documnet and then from the Format
menu, select Paragraph and set the Space Before and the Space After the
paragraphs to 0 and set the Line Spacing to Single.

I found that if instead of using the address block, if i Merged one field in
at a time it came out without the double spaces. (By using SHIFTEnter after
each field insted of just enter, which would result in a double space. I
figured this out before your response. I will try your solution next time!
Thank you very much

If you are working on a Mac, try this:

If it won't single space, HIGHLIGHT label or doc, go to FORMAT then PARAGRAPH and set spacing Before and After at zero and Single; go to Line Breaks and check the box next to "Keep Lines Together" have that be the ONLY box checked, hit okay.
