Stop text from moving on page

[Guest]

I have a word doc formatted to print precisely with perforations at the
bottom. I need the text from the body of the letter down to stay in place.
However, when I merge the doc with the data source, the body of the letter
will move up a line to compensate for any record that does not have two
address lines. How do I anchor or lock the body of the letter (text) so that
it does not move up a line when Addr02 is null (see below)?

Hi Cat,

If you place your mergefields inside a single-celled table with the row height formatted as 'exact' ( to match a merge with four
lines), the rest of the document will retain its layout regardless of how many lines are in the merged data.

Cheers

That worked well, thank you very much!
