Thanks, Doug. Wierd! It would be clearer is there were explicit THEN and
ELSE.

I have a couple other questions, if you don't mind. When the Country field
is USA or empty I'd like to not have the extra empty line at the end. Is
there a way I can put a newline character in front of the Country merge
field so it is conditional?

Also, how can I specify a vertical centering within the label?

Thangs again.

Use the following field construction:

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Country } "USA" { IF { MERGEFIELD Country } "" {
MERGEFIELD Country } "" } "" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.

Hope this helps.
