Hi Glencoe,

The field code you posted could be reduced to {REF _Ref277582702 \h} without harm. In general, the internal spacing within a simple field is inconsequential. Three exceptions are QUOTE, EQ and IF fields. With QUOTE and IF fields, double spaces between the double-quotes used to delimit the output will appear there. Other spaces in those field codes are inconsequential. With EQ fields, you generally need to ensure there are no spaces either side of the field code. With IF fields and other calculation fields, omitting the wrong spaces can have deleterious effects on how the expressions are evaluated and, hence, on their output - as Stefan says, their presence may be crucial.
