Reply To: CS4 Data Merge – commonly known issue with consecutive blank fields

Yes, I have that option enabled.

My setup is a single page letter with a text frame in a separate layer with a text box for the address area. This is placed in a specific position for the address area to line up with the envelope window when the paper is folded. I have my merge fields in this text box. Very basic setup.

But when I perform the merge, It's only when it comes across 2 or more blank fields that it's not suppressing them all. I still end up with a single empty paragraph in the final merge result.

So you're telling me they still haven't fixed this in CS5? That's rather disappointing. :( Why would they mess with something that worked fine in previous versions?

I guess I will have to learn scripting to remove it after the fact.

Thanks anyway for your reply. It's good to know I'm not going crazy.
