[Terry the Terror]

Can anyone tell me how to have a blank field skipped in a mail merge. I have
tried the Word Help but the field id still there. SOme addresses have detail
in the field and I want them to stay.

Use an If...then...Else field construction such as:

{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldthatmightbeblank } "" "{ MERGEFIELD
fieldthatmightbeblank }¶
{ MERGEFIELD nextfield }" "{ MERGEFIELD nextfield }" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and where
the ¶ appears in the above, press the Enter key (or Shift+Enter) to start a
new line.
