Merging to Labels - Controlling printing "PT" <thomaspz[ at ]bigpond.com> 12/9/2008 8:36:40 PM I am printing labels using a 10 labels per sheet (A4) shipping label. I have a return address printed in a colour and a particular font (Arial 8pt) at the top left corner. Then the address is lower and indented. The last sheet of labels will usually have several that are not used for addresses but have the return address printed on them. How can I get these unused labels to be completely blank? I have tried inserting an "If...Then...Else..." field after the "NextRecord" field but that creates a mess and I can't control the font. Thank you. Paul

Or maybe you could surroud each field by an IF field that does something like { IF { MERGEREC } = "" "" "{ MERGfIELD myfield }" } Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk PT wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am printing labels using a 10 labels per sheet (A4) shipping label.
