I know this has probably been covered but I can't find it so thanks in
advance for the help.

I would like to add a spouse in a mail merge. Example:
<<firstname>> and <<spouse>> <<lastname>>
But if the spouse doesn't exist I need to know how to eliminate the "and"
and extra spaces.

Thanks -Lenox

You need this syntax:

{ MERGEFIELD firstname }{ IF { MERGEFIELD spouse } = "" "" " and {
MERGEFIELD spouse }" }

All fields must be inserted either using Insert | Field (or the button on
the Mail Merge toolbar) or by pressing Ctrl+F9 to insert the field
delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be entered from the
keyboard) and then typing between them.
