Mail Merge Line Retention within Document with Blank Field

[RickArra]

I am using MS Word 2002. When I have only one field of
data on a line in a document, I need to retain the line
(space) within the document. Meaning during the mail
merge Process, if the field is blank a blank line needs
to be placed there. I know in earlier versions this was
possible. Please help. Please respond to my email
directly. Thanks. (e-mail address removed)

Add the \f switch.
Instead of:
{MERGEFIELD LINE1}
Change it to:
{MERGEFIELD LINE1 \f
}

You can right click on the field, choose edit field,
click on options... check text to be inserted after.
