I just upgraded from Maximizer 5. In Maximizer 5, under Preferences, you can set the address format in various ways. One of the choices is where to place the Position field. I have it set to 'On Name Line'. What this also does is intelligently handle the comma placement. For example, it will print
John Smith, President.
But if there is no Position field (i.e., it is blank), it will just print
John Smith
Simple, right?
I can't get this behavior in Maximizer 8. Maximizer 8 uses Merge fields which are not very well documented.
If I do
{Last_Name?} {First_Name?}, {Position?}
this works fine if there is a Potition, but if the Position field is blank, the comma still prints. There are also other weird problems if the Position field is blank, but I discovered that removing the ? fixes this. So I have
{Last_Name?} {First_Name?}, {Position}
but the comma still prints when the Position field is blank.
I tried things like {,Position}, and {,}, but these are syntax errors
Is there any way to fix this?
thanks,
Peter
