Merry Christmas!

Sure could use some advice/suggestions for an unexpected problem I'm experiencing getting merge field boundaries to behave appropriately on my printouts. Presently, there is an blank space occurring where no data occurs in a merge field. I want text to automatically shift left (and/or up) when data does not occur in the preceeding field.

This is how I've formatted the merge field objects so far to remove the blank space from my printed document:

1. Confirmed that table fields are formatted appropriately (i.e., no extra spaces), and

2. Confirmed that merge fields are formatted appropriately (i.e., without extra spaces), and

3. Formatted merge field object text to align LEFT and UP, and

4. Set sliding/printing to slide LEFT and UP.

All this and I'm STILL looking at a blank space on my printout.

Thank you in advance for your feedback/suggestions!

Reviewing the problem further, I discovered that (curiously) the problem is unique to my forms of address field (Mr., Ms., Dr. etc.)

Please excuse me. I spoke too soon. The problem appears to be unique to the first line.
