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.
