Label Merge Spacing

[AJ]

I am trying to do a mail merge for labels. I can't figure out why I am
getting extra spacing between the fields. Additional spacing (see below
example) between first & last name; street address & city; city, state & zip
code. I originally used this same list with a mail merge for a letter and
didn't encounter any spacing problems. I have tried doing the label merge on
a couple of different computers with different printers.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you click on the Show/Hide button ¶, do you see something like

Kelli Knoblau
1 On 1 Fitness Studio¶

2224 E. 12th St.¶

Davenport

With a New Line symbol after Knoblau. If so, I would suspect that the
paragraphs on your label have the alignment set to Full Justification and
that they also have a space of (probably 12 pts) after them. If that is the
case, set the Paragraph Alignment to Left and the Space After to 0.

Alternatively, if you see

Kelli.........................Knoblau
1 On 1 Fitness Studio¶
¶
2224 E. 12th St.¶
¶
Davenport

Or, possibly the above with Tab symbol (arrow to the right) between Kelli
and Knoblau, remove all the spaces (.) but one or replace the tab with a
space between the first and last name, and remove the extra paragraph marks
(¶) between the lines.
