I've got it! My merge file has two fields, one called Name, which contains... well, a name, and another called Address, which contains either a phone number or an email address. The following suppresses all NON email addresses from the merge: {nextif{MERGEFIELD "Address"} <> "*@*"}{MERGEFIELD "Name"} --- {MERGERFIELD "Address"} Evidently, it is important that the '<>' has a space either side of it. This worked for me. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
