WD97: Leading Spaces and Tabs Removed with Inserted Database

WORKAROUND

Use either of the following methods to add the missing spaces to your merge document.

Method 1: Insert Extra Spaces

Insert extra spaces in the main document. These extra spaces should immediately precede the appropriate merge field.

Method 2: Create a Conditional Merge Field

Create a conditional merge field to include spaces. The following merge field example will insert five spaces if {mergefield name} equals John.

   {If {mergefield name} = "John" "     "}
				

The following merge field will insert five spaces and the result of the {mergefield name} in your document:

   {If {mergefield name} = "John" "     {mergefield name}"}
