I am creating a form letter.  in the RE: section, there are several drop down
lists but not all need to be filled out with every letter.  How do I
designated a "blank" choice on those lists so an unused drop down list will
not show on the letter.

The only way I know is to use a single space as an entry.

Add an empty string to the list of the dropdown, or a single space should
suffice; " ".
