Use a merge field like in addressblock

[brian]

Hi

Using word 2007 mailmerge...

I'd like to use some mergefields that act like the addressblock fields
do.

It is important that they suppress the line where they are empty so no
ugly gaps in the document.

Is there a way to do this using normal fields instead of the
addressblock perhaps with a mergefield being entered in the word
document with a formula?

I don't wish to match fields or impersonate fields to the addressblock
because of the number of fields and the complexity of the document I
am dealing with.

Thanks

Brian

You can always use conditional field constructions to determine what is
merged where eg

{Mergefield Field1}{If {Mergefield Field2} <> "" "
{Mergefield Field2}"}{If {Mergefield Field3} <> "" "
{Mergefield Field3}"}etc

Here the line feeds are inserted only when the fields have content
