Hi Ken -
Are you sure there is actually an empty paragraph or is it just "extra
space"? IOW, if you display the non-printing characters in the main label
doc do you see a ¶ at the top?
If not the space must be caused by something else - maybe applying Space
Before paragraph formatting or using a Style that includes it.
If it is actually an empty paragraph the 2 most likely causes [in order of
likelihood] are (a) that the return key really was pressed before
inserting
the first field, or (b) that the data records in the Excel file do include
a
carriage return before each Name. Although unlikely, the second can easily
happen if the data was pasted into the Excel file from another source.
