Suppressing Blank Lines in Merge
Does anyone know how to suppress blank lines in a Word
2002 mail merge? Specifically, we're trying to keep blank lines from appearing when the merged record has a blank "address2" line. If I remember correctly, in earlier versions this was a simple checkbox... |

Suppressing Blank Lines in Merge
Hi Linda,
Word 2002 should be suppressing these by default. But it won't if there's ANYTHING besides the mail merge field in the paragraph; this includes IF fields. (I know, this worked in earlier versions!) You can find the checkbox in the older interfaces. There's a table of these, and instructions on how to get them in the Word 2002 section of my website's mail merge FAQ. But that won't make any difference under the above circumstances. Does anyone know how to suppress blank lines in a Word 2002 mail merge? Specifically, we're trying to keep blank lines from appearing when the merged record has a blank "address2" line. If I remember correctly, in earlier versions this was a simple checkbox...
