Eliminating extra spaces in mail merge with Excel/Publisher
I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as a database. It has columns for member's
first name, member's last name, spouse's first name, and spouse's last neme (some spouses retain their maiden names). I have a mail merge set up in my Publisher document, but when there is no spouse's first or last name (i.e., unmarried or widowed member), the member's first name and last name are printed with an extra space between them when I do the merge. Is there a way to get rid of this extra space? |

upon further review, in the publisher Print Merge screen, there is a check
box to not print empty lines.... "oldtimer43" wrote: I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as a database.
