I am trying to use the Mail Merge in Word 2010 with an Excel 2010 spreadsheet to print a phone roster. Everything works fine except where for various reasons there in no city, state, or zip.
What I have in my mail merge document is:
<<Name>>
<<street>>
<<city>>, <<state>> <<Zip>>
<<Home TX>> / <<cell TX>>
<<Name>>
<<street>>
<<city>>, <<state>> <<Zip>>
<<Home TX>> / <<cell TX>>
<<Name>>
<<street>>
<<city>>, <<state>> <<Zip>>
<<Home TX>> / <<cell TX>>
<<Name>>
<<street>>
<<city>>, <<state>> <<Zip>>
<<Home TX>> / <<cell TX>>
In some of the "street" fields I have inserted the phrase "Withheld by Request" or "DECEASED" rather than a street address. The "City, State, and Zip" fields are then intentionally left blank in my spreadsheet.
What I get on the printout is :
John Doe
123 Any St.
Boston, MA xxxxx
(123) 456-7890 / (123) 123-4567
Jane Doe
DECEASED
,
/
Kelly Doe
Withheld by Request
,
/
Mike Doe
321 My Street
Sidney, NY xxxxx
(111) 222-3333 / (555) 666-7777
What I would like to have print out is the following:
John Doe
123 Any St.
Boston, MA xxxxx
(123) 456-7890 / (123) 123-4567
Jane Doe
DECEASED
Kelly Doe
Withheld by Request
Mike Doe
321 My Street
Sidney, NY xxxxx
(111) 222-3333 / (555) 666-7777
Where the ", " is NOT printed if the "city, state zip" fields are empty and the " / " does not print if one or both of the phone fields are blank.
Any or all suggestions would be appreciated. Right Now I am going through the generated document and manually having to delete or use the replace command to get rid of the unwanted characters.
Thanks!
