Problem

Symptoms: Macro Troubleshooting Tip: A user has a letter that they have to send to multiple people. They are using the letter in a merge. Everything is OK, but the bottom of the letter moves up and down depending on how many lines of text are in the address. The signature to the letters will be printed on, so the last lines of the letter have to be in the same position. Solutions: The customer decided to have the variable amount of space after the address block and before the body of the letter. To accomplish this, use an Advance to Line code in the form file to position the body of the letter at a certain position, whether the address is big or small. To determine the line number to advance to, find out how many lines are in the largest address and add that many Hard Return [HRt] codes to the form file. Check what line number the user is on, delete the blank lines just added, and place the line number previously determined into an Advance to Line code that follows the information or Field code or codes for the block address. To get to the advance to line feature: in WPDOS51 Shift+F8(Format) | 4(Other) | 1(Advance) | 3(Line) in WPDOS60 Shift+f8(Format) | 7(Other) | 6(Advance) | 6(From Top of Page) in WPWIN52 Click on Layout | Advance | To Line in WPWIN60 Click on Layout | Typesetting | Advance | From Top of Page in WPWIN61 Click on Format | Typesetting | Advance | From Top of Page Causes: The user needs a way to keep the bottom of the letter in the same position regardless if there is one line or many lines in the address.
