I'm trying to create address labels through a mail merge and move up
remaining lines if a data field is blank.

For example: Some of the addresses do not include an organization name. If
this is the case, an awkward blank line is left between the name and the
street address.

How do I code it so that the lines move up if the organization field is blank?

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Organization }= "" "{ MERGEFIELD Address }" "{ MERGEFIELD
Organization }[line feed]{ MERGEFIELD Address }" }

Use Shift+Enter where [line feed] appears in this construction.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the code, Doug. I thought I knew where it goes, but I'm lost.

Thanks.
