    I am having a problem which is driving me insane, I have never done a mail merge before but need to do one now to simplify my mums xmas card list! and basically I want to learn how to do it?

    I have created my own receipents list on my own customised columns and it is like this,

    First Name, Last Name, Townland, Parish, County

    However when I go to add the address block it gives me this.

    John Smith
    {an empty space}
    Townland
    Parish
    County

    I don't know what I am doing wrong but for the life of me I can't get it to stop adding that stupid space.

    I am following this video and I don't where I am going wrong,

    Any ideas to get rid of the space?

    Can you post the steps you are doing in word, is there a manual option to add the lines?

    There is and that was what I have done,

    it is a bit like this

    <<first name>> <<surname>>
    <<Townland>>
    <<Parish>>
    <<County>>

    and is works just as I want it to now, this has saved me so much typing and cutting and pasting! Still it is a frustrating programme and I hope Office 2010 is an improvement up from '07.
