pcdlibrary Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 How do I automatically close up blank lines in a data merge? For example, when there is no PO box in an address. I did it manually, today. Mailing_2021_02-04.afpub Mail_merge_2021_02-04.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcdlibrary Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 InDesign has has their Content Placement Options Dialog box > Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields. Does Publisher have anything similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcdlibrary Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Still confused. Don't have to go through all this rigmarole, in InDesign. I use MS Access, create a report, export this report to Excel and then export the Excel file to a CSV file. And finally, place the CSV fields in the Publisher data merge file.
