Office XP Mail Merge Spacing

[windrider]

I am using Office XP mail merge to send envelops. The merge shows about
twenty spaces between the first and last name (about one inch or mare apart).
I am using an Excel spread sheet for the source address names.
How do I get the first and last name closer together?

One way would be to concatenate the First and Last names in Excel. Or
perhaps you have spaces after the First name in the Excel file (use
Find\Replace to remove)

Hi windrider,

Check what's between the mergefields - you might find a tab or multiple spaces where you want a single space.
