I'm using Microsoft Word 2003/2007 to create ACT! 2009 Document Templates.
If I'm inserting an say fields Address 1, Address 2, Address 3 but say Address 2 is blank, I don't want an empty line, rather I want the Address 3 field to automatically move up. ie. The field should only be inserted if it isn't blank.
So at it should read: (assuming Address 2 is blank)
Address 1
Address 3
Instead of:
Address 1
Address 3
Thanks,
JJ

If you start from an existing template (say the "Letter" template) and save it with another name it should happen automatically. If you are starting from a blank template insert <Address 1>, then with the cursor after the ">" hit return and then instert <Address 2> etc. When you use the new template any blank fields should be closed up.

Hi Jeff,
There's been some discussion about this subject:

I tried hitting the 'Return' key after entering <Address 2> <Address 3> <Address 1>etc, but the unwanted line break still appeared in all the mail merge letters I was doing.
Kind regards,
Grant.
