Supressing in a table

[Michele]

Is it possible to suppress in a table that consists of 3 columns and 1 row?
For example, in Col 1, we have several conditional statements for the
mailmerge and similar statements in Col 3 which reflects dollar amounts (Col
2 is blank). Ideally, we want to suppress the entire "visual" line if the
subject is n/a or $0. So if someone is not getting a salary increase, we
want to completely remove it. For example, right now it is:

Current Salary: $XX,XXX
Salary Increase Amt: $X,XXX
New Salary: $XX,XXX
Bonus: $X,XXX
Total Comp: $XX,XXX

But if there is not salary increase we want the table to reflect:

Current Salary: $XX,XXX
New Salary: $XX,XXX
Bonus: $X,XXX
Total Comp: $XX,XXX

Is this something we need to break into several rows in order to suppress
correctly?

You cannot, using mail merge, eliminate a row from a table. You can
however, using If...then...Else fields, supress the display of unwanted
information and have the subsequent information moved up to take its place.
