I'm merging letters -- Word 2002 with MS Access 2002.  
The addresses in the database have from three to six
lines.

Is there a way to adjust the lines "up" so the last line
of a letter is always in the same place regardless of the
number of lines in the address?

Thank you so much!

A single table cell without a border; alignment set to bottom will work.

Thank you for your response but does this apply to a mail
merge?  I have tried your solution, but when the letters
merge the number of address lines still push the bottom
line up or down accordingly.

In that case there is a field in the address that is sometimes unfilled and
the merge is leaving space for it. You could insert the address using
conditional statements that only produce the line feed and field when the
field has content eg
{Mergefield FirstName} {Mergefield LastName}{IF {Mergefield Company} <> "" "
{Mergefield Company}"}{IF {Mergefield Address1} <> "" "
{Mergefield Address1}"} etc
