Form problems

[Peter]

I'm creating a form letter
It has 4 fields at the top - name, address1, address2,
suburb/state/pcode.
I want the user to be able to tab to enter the info but if
there isn't a second address line leave it blank and not
have it printed.
I have created them as 'text form fields' but I want to
identify them by name so the user will know what to put in
there, but if I use default text it prints out 'address2'
when I want it blank!
Any ideas?

Thanks but the address details are ad-hoc, not from
Outlook or anywhere.....
It seems a straight-forward sort of thing to do, but like
everything else with MS, nothing is easy!

Outlook was only part of it - it was the use of macrobutton fields as place
markers that I was particularly suggesting.
If a locked form is essential, then the only solution I can see would be a
macro run on exit from the field that tests for zero content in the field
and then deletes the line containing the field. You'll need a similar macro
for each line of the address that may be missing. Otherwise the fields will
retain their fixed space.
