On my standard letters I have a line which contains details of the client such as title, surname, DOB, Address line 1 and postcode. at the minute I have to have the field size set to the largest so if someones surname has 20 Characters in it i have to have enough space for this then if the next client only has 4 characters I end up with a big gap befor the DOB . Is there away of seeting it to make the fields automatically set to the required size?

Enter your fields as text in layout mode using FM's merge capability. Set the text position with the text tool then: Layout Mode --> Insert Menu --> Merge Field...

The size of the space between "fields" with be just the spaces you assign, similar to the merge capability in word processors.
