Mail merge adds 1 extra space before field

[Lyn]

I was using Word 2007 and am now using Word 2003 and still have an issue with
a mail merge document where it is inserting one space before the first field
verbiage. It is doing this on the inside address of my letter as well as the
envelopes, so it looks like this:

Jane Doe
222 Anywhere St
Somewhere USA 55555

Of course I have checked that there is not a space preceding the verbiage in
this field. Any thoughts?

Hello Lyn

I was using Word 2007 and am now using Word 2003 and still have an issue with
a mail merge document where it is inserting one space before the first field
verbiage. It is doing this on the inside address of my letter as well as the

first, I'd make sure that you display non-printing characters, and maybe
field code shading.

Then: is the space part of the mailmerge field? Or before? Is it really
a space, or an indent?
