Printing Contacts Without Blank Lines

[Guest]

When printing my Contacts Address Book, Outlook is adding extra blank lines
following most, but not all, of the individual contact entries. I've gone
back to each entry to be sure there is nothing in any of the fields that
would cause this, and I've found nothing. This has not happened other times
I've printed my address book. How can I eliminate these blank lines?

How could we know?
You've provided no information whatsoever on how you are printing whatever
you mean by "Contacts Address Book."
We don't even know your Outlook version.
Post some actual information when you post a question.

My Outlook version is 2003, SP2. From "Contacts", I print a hard copy of
the "Detailed Address Cards" so that I have an address book in my organizer.
When Detailed Address Cards are displayed on the screen, there is only one
blank line following the last line of one contact and the header of the next
contact. However, when the page is printed, most, but not all, of the
contact entries have multiple blank lines between the contact entries. I
have made sure that I have not inadvertently added spaces in any of the
fields. Thanks for trying to help.

By which method are you printing?
Normally one would do a mail merge to customize a printout. Just printing a
view is not recommended.

I've don't know how to do a mail merge. I've always printed a view without
a problem -- until this time.

Well you've still provided no troubleshooting steps. There are myriad ways
to print a view.
I'd still never do it and never have.
Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters,
mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look here:

I'm not sure what troubleshooting steps you would want me to provide.
Outlook/Contacts/File/Print Preview/Page Setup suggests that it is set up to
print properly. It has been working just fine up until now. I'm not sending
form letters, just trying to create a paper address book.

I would guess that many people asking questions in the Discussion Groups are
not MVPs and, like me, do not know all the information they should be
offering. Thank you for the links and have a nice weekend.

You are presented with several different printout styles and configuration
options are you not? That would all have been necessary information for
anyone to troubleshoot.
No one said anything about form letters. Mail merges are the way to
customize printouts in Outlook so that you can present blank lines.
No one can hazard a guess about what you changed in your setup that is
producing blank lines when you didn't have them before.
