Word mail merge should suppress blanks left by blank fields.
Word 2003 mail merge leaves a blank if an instance for a field does not
contain a value. this leaves awkward blank spaces in the merged documents that appear to be typos. word should suppress these blanks. i know wordperfect did so automatically (back when i was a wordperfect user). ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
