Hello:
I'm performing a mail merge. Some of the fields in the source database
are empty.
I am using a Hidden Paragraph field to omit them when the neighbouring
field is empty.
Here is what I have in the Condition box:
NOT Canada.cust.27.04.2006.Sheet1.business_name
In spite of this, the merged document shows a blank line wherever a
blank field appears.
I've no idea if the 'NOT' syntax should work, but this does:
![Canada.cust.27.04.2006.Sheet1.business_name]
and make sure that you have not rendered hidden paragraphs visible in
the View menu.
Okay - I'm now doing this merge with another document. Again, I have a
set of address fields, some of which are blank.
When showing the field names, this is what I see:
recruiters.10.05.2006.Sheet1.last_nameHiddenParagraph
If I right-click on the HiddenParagraph field and look at the Field
properties, I see a field type of "HiddenParagraph", and in the
Condition field, this text:
![recruiters.10.05.2006.Sheet1.last_name]
I have the "Hidden Paragraphs" option *unchecked* in the View menu. Yet,
when I do the Mail Merge from the Tools menu, the resulting output has
blank lines for all records where the last_name field is blank. The
desired effect is that the paragraph should not even be there if the
field is blank.
I'm following instructions. What's wrong here?
Thanks,
-Stephen-
When I responded I was using Windows XP, but I've now got Fedora Core 5
up and stumbling. Once I get past the fact that all my Windows
partitions are NTFS, I'll set up an exchange partition and check it out.
