Mail merge line break

[camlad]

How can I introduce a line break (^l) or paragraph mark (^p) in this field if the answer is Yes, ie, there is an Address3

{ IF { MERGFIELD Address3 }<> “”” { MREGEFIELD Address3 } “” }

I cannot find a way of avoiding a blank line if there is a blank field in a record.

Hi camlab,

Thanks Paul but I don't see how I can do what I want with that.
What I am after is:
within an 'IF' statement I need to include a paragraph mark if TRUE in order to put the next part of te address on the next line but I dont want a paragraph mark if the field is FALSE (blank).
So, I should like the lines to look something like this:

{ MERGFIELD Address1 }{ IF { MERGFIELD Address2 }<> “” { ^p
MREGEFIELD Address2 } “” }{ IF { MERGFIELD Address3 }<> “” { ^p
MREGEFIELD Address3 } “” }{ IF { MERGFIELD Address4 }<> “” { ^p
MREGEFIELD Address4 } “” }{ IF { MERGFIELD Postcode }<> “” { ^p
MREGEFIELD Postcode } “” }

Hi camlab,

With the mergefield switches, you don't need an IF test. The switches simply tell Word what to do if the field is not empty. If you tell it to insert a new line, and place that mergefield on the same line as the one before/after (depending on which switch you use), then the line you're concerned about is only created if the field is not empty.
