Address blank line not suppressing

[Guest]

I have added a new AddressLayout in Auto Text per Word's website
instructions. I have entered braces { } via the keyboard and hard returns at
the end of each line. When I drop in an address from my address book, blank
lines are not being suppressed. Any suggestions?

Braces need to be entered using Ctrl-F9, not typed.

No, not in the AddressLayout AutoText entry. But they do need to be inserted
in a rather odd way to ensure suppression of blank lines.

Suzanne, Can you please give me instructions on how to do this.

They have been provided here in the past day or so. See "WD2000: Blank Lines
Not Suppressed with AddressLayout AutoText" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209752.

I have also tried the suggestion in the referenced article (using shift +
enter). This is still not suppressing the lines. Do you have any additional
suggestions? Thanks

Have you inserted the braces at the beginnings of the lines as illustrated?

This is how I have it set up:

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME>} {<PR_SURNAME>}
{<PR_TITLE>}
{<PR_DEPARTMENT>}
{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>}
{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>}
{<PR_LOCALITY>}, {<PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE>} {<PR_POSTAL_CODE>}

Do you see any errors?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Yes, did you read the referenced article at all? It's supposed to be:

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME>} {<PR_SURNAME>
}{<PR_TITLE>
}{<PR_DEPARTMENT>
}{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>
}<PR_LOCALITY>, <PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE> <PR_POSTAL_CODE>
