1. There is a case for replacing the ADDRESSBLOCK by the individual
field you need, especially before Word 2007.
2. However, if the Addressblock works OK for you in all other respects,
you can probably fix this as follows:
a. use Alt-F9 to reveal the ADDRESSBLOCK field code, which might look
something like this:
b. If you see a comma after
_COMPANY_
you can delete it, and the problem should go away.
3. But bear in mind that
a. if you ever edit the Addressblock field in the dialog box that Word
provides for the purpose, Word will overwrite any changes you make, i.e.
re-insert the comma.
b. (this is for anyone tempted to make any other changes to the
addressblock field content) you can change the behaviour of ADDRESSBLOCK
in some ways (e.g. "trim" inside << >> should be output if the field
(e.g. _COMPANY_ is non-blank and trim outside << >> should always be
output, but some of the behaviour of ADDRESSBLOCK is hardcoded, e.g. you
have limited control over what appears in the first line)

OK. I've followed that through, so thanks for your help.
