Word Form Fields & Programming

[gentrya]

I have created a template that uses Word form fields so the user has a standard format for entering information to be printed for an outside vendor. For example, the user enters their name, address, part number, etc. Some of the users will have a two-line street address and others will not. How can I create a macro or module that will take the "null" second line, remove it, and place the city, state and zip in its place.

It now looks like this:

First Last
Street

City, State Zip

and I want it to look like:

First Last
Street
City, State Zip

Thanks!

I always recommend to use VBA to create a form and let people fill it in, and then let the code take care of placing it in the document with help of bookmarks.
