Under Edit/Format, I have customized an inside address format, which I realize is stored in the Maximizer field known as Name_and_Address. Within that field, every component field ends in a question mark to skip it if blank. Maximizer is even nice enough to not put blank lines if a person doesn't have a particular field.
The problem is that I want two versions of this: one for inside address, which includes telephone and email, and another for envelopes, which would omit these (among other differences).
Two issues so far:
1. I cannot get Word to treat the single {Name_and_Address} field as a single paragraph: if I format it with a margin and go to the next or previous person in a list, it puts different lines of the address at different parts of the page.
[Solved (corrected): If you have something that doesn't change (like a return address) and a Maximizer field (like the destination address), apply the margin you want the Maximizer stuff to have to the entire page. Then give the PARAGRAPH of non-Maximizer stuff (like return address) a NEGATIVE margin. The previous suggestion, different margins for different sections, inserted a page break.]
2. How to skip blank fields in Word? If I don't use "Name_and_Address," but put each field separately, I'm getting blank spaces if a person doesn't use a middle name, and blank lines if they have only a one-line address, etc.
