Hi Alex

Thanks for your response.  So far as I can see, the problem does not lie 
in Base but within the Text Document (Writer) modules.  The address line 
suppression should form part of the "Print from Base"  window in Text 
Document after you have inserted fields from your database.  The Writer 
program responds  with the wording "Your document contains database 
address fields. do you want to print a form letter?"  When you respond 
"Yes", then a further box comes up with the database selected and just 
asks you to confirm whether you wish to send the files to "Printer" or 
"File".

I have hesitated to show this as a bug, because the program is not 
wrong, it just does not do enough.  Is that a bug?

Alan
