I have Word and Outlook 2002 SP2.

How do you avoid a double blank space when you select First Name
Middle Name Last Name when there is no middle name?

Alan

Use an If...then...Else field construction

{ MERGEFIELD FirstName } { IF { MERGEFIELD MiddleName }= "" "" "{ MERGEFIELD
MiddleName } "}{MERGEFIELD LastName}

Note that there is a space between the } and the " in the second instance of
{ MERGEFIELD MiddleName } "

Or perhaps:
{MERGEFIELD FirstName} {IF{MERGEFIELD MiddleName}= "" {MERGEFIELD LastName}
"{MERGEFIELD
MiddleName} {MERGEFIELD LastName}"}
