How does DesignMerge handle empty fields?
A. Please review Tutorial #1, the Form Letter tutorial, where the Address_2 variable text link provides an example. //demonstrates handling empty fields. The short answer to this is that the Variable Link settings within your Database Definition contain options for ‘Delete if Empty’ and ‘Remove Empty Lines’. These two settings (set explicitly on individual Variable Links) ensure that an empty link will be deleted from the layout, and any empty lines it leaves behind will also be removed.
