Extra Line Inserted following title and name line in Address Block

When I use the address block in mail merge (2007) it inserts a blank line
following the name as shown below. However this blank line does not show in
the preview.

Mr. Peter O'Donoghue

BT
The Manor
Deise
Waterford

Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

Instead of using the Address Block, just insert the individual merge fields
in the configuration that you want them.

Doug, Thanks for the reply but is there an issue with the address block in
that it inserts an extra line.

New Students using MM can find it a bit laborious adding a field at a time
and remembering to include spaces.

The Address block if working correctly would really be helpful.

Thanks again

It probably includes a field for which there is no data - in your case,
probably the person's title.

Students should learn how to do things from scratch and depend upon props.

Doug,

Thanks again, The title is included as shown in the example below (none of
the relevant fields are left blank), and in the preview (of the address
block) no blank line is included.

I usnderstand your point about not depending on props however if the
facility is there and is more efficient I would encourage student to it.
However it is not seem to work correctly.

Regards,

The Mr. is the Courtesy Title

The one that I suggested might be missing is the one that the addressblock
refers to as Job Title.
