Perfection, worked like a charm!!!
If you know that code, perhaps you can help me with another.

The address field in the packet I recieve is doubly annoying.

"SMALLTOWN IN456781234"


(forum will not let me add the 10-12 spaces between smalltown and IN)
I have to edit it to show

"SMALLTOWN, IN 45678-1234"

Of course I cannot control the source of my packet information, I just have to edit each one manually. These two steps add the most annoying 30 seconds to each one. Without that I can create one of these in seconds..

Also, how can I drop anything after a space " " in a merge field.
Field information has "BLAH 1234"
I want the field to show me "BLAH" in my word document and nothing else.
Any Ideas???
