Address Block Printing on Right Side of Postcard STAYS Right-Justi
Hi...
I have mail merge working for my needs, EXCEPT that the address block, which I print on the right side of a postcard, has all three lines - name, address, and city/state/zip - EACH right-justified. I'd like to have this address block stay on the right side of the postcard, BUT that the address block itself be CENTER-justified. When I right lick to do this via paragraph formatting, the address and city/st/zip lines move over to the left side of the card. Obviously, this is not what I want. So...anyone know how I can get just my address block center-justified without any part of this block moving all over the postcard? Thanks so much! Andy |

An address block is ONE field, I guess (never really looked), and it doesn't
have separate "line components". Instead, set up your merge with individual fields (name, address...), and you can separate them. http://www.officearticles.com/word/i...osoft_word.htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Infoman" wrote in message ...

Instead of using the Address Block, just insert the individual merge fields
in the configuration that you require. In this case, possibly aligned on a centre aligned tab stop. -- Hope this helps.

Address Block Printing on Right Side of Postcard STAYS Right-J
Thanks, Anne...
But I tried that, and that's not working either. When I "center-justify" each line of the name / address on the right, it centers to the CARD itself - not in that area, which is what I want. Picture the following on the right side of a postcard John Smith 123 Anyway Dr. Anywhere, NY 10011 This is how the merged infoo is appearing. I'd LIKE to get this info, all still on the right side of the card, to look like this: John Smith 123 Anyway Dr. Anywhere, NY 10011 So...I'm still stuck on this. Thanks...

Hi, Doug...
Thanks....I saw this right after I posted a reply to Anne. Seems like you are suggesting the same thing Anne did, and it's not working. See my reply to her. Anything else you may be able to think of on this, by all means, please reply back. Thanks!

AHAA.... You've used line breaks instead of paragraph returns between your
fields.... A line break doesn't "break" the paragraph, so when you change one line, it takes everything with it. Turn your show/hide button on: http://www.officearticles.com/word/s...osoft_word.htm OR you've got a style applied, and it's automatically updating.

No, I said to set up a centre aligned tab stop where you want the address to
be centered. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Infoman" wrote in message ...
