I have a mail merge that works perfectly EXCEPT, it's a bullet point list and I need to sometimes add a new bullet point.

what I've done is at the end of my last certain bullet point is create an IF:

{IF{MERGEFIELD "MEMO"}="" "" {MERGEFIELD "memo"}}

Which returns my comments - what really need is something like:
{IF{MERGEFIELD "memo"}="" "" HARDRETURNWITHBULLET&{MERGEFIELD "memo"}}

But I don't know how to tell it the HARDRETURNWITHBULLET
 
Hi pluto,

What you need to do is to attach the fields to the end of the previous paragraph, thus:
Code:
Preceding Paragraph Text.{IF{MERGEFIELD memo}<> "" "¶
{MERGEFIELD memo}"}¶
and format the embedded paragraph mark with the bullet.

Cheers
