Graham, thanks for the reply.

However, this doesn't seem to work for me. When I have my IF statement and hit Enter within quotes, the bullet for that line goes away.

• end of bulleted list { IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } = "" "" "¶"
(once I hit ¶ at the end of this statement, the • before "end of bulleted list" disappears)

also, I have the IF statement on this line opposed to the next because if I start it on the next line, then the bulleted list will have an empty bullet at the end if the field is blank.

Any ideas? Thanks.
