 However, that's not how we do it. Out of habit, or tradition, or resistance to authority, we "normally" write:
-Jack Wilson\\
+Jack Wilson
-W. Main Street\\
+W. Main Street
-Ste. 506\\
+Ste. 506
-Washburn, MN 66057\\
+Washburn, MN 66057
-\\
 The post office would have an easier time with:
-Jack Wilson\\
+Jack Wilson
-W. Main Street\\
+Ste. 506
-Ste. 506\\
+W. Main Street
-Washburn, MN 66057\\
+Washburn, MN 66057
+The "acceptable" compromise would seem to be:
+Jack Wilson
+W. Main Street, Ste. 506
+Washburn, MN 66057
+Now, at least, the street address and suite number are sharing an importance line, rather than being reversed. And, we use 3 lines of address space instead of 4. Potential quite useful if using narrow labels and we've got to include a Title or Department as well.
+Dime-O-Gold has a feature we call Smart Address 1 + 2 that, when activated, automatically combines your GoldMine's address1 and address2 fields.
+One method analyzes the address2 field and, if short, e.g. less than 12 characters, appends it to the end of the address1 line.
+The other method analyzes address1 //and// address2 and, if their sum is less than 60 characters, appends the two lines together into one.
+In each case above, the number of charcters (i.e. 12 and 60) are user-configurable in Dime-O-Config.
+==== Don't Waste Labels... They're Expensive! ====
+When printing a bunch of labels (filter/group/tagged) there's no point in printing labels that are not-useable. So, in Dime-O-Config, you can designate which fields, if blank, will prevent a label from printing. As an example, we don't want to print labels missing an address1 field… without address1 the mail is all but undeliverable. As defaults, we make this claim about the contact, city, state, and zip fields as well.
+==== I Don't Want to See Their Names ====
+I want to do a mailing to 100 prospective customers. However, I don't want to include the contact names. Dime-O-Config allows me to choose which fields to print on the labels.
+Another interesting example would be name tags. I only want to print the person's name, company, and city. Easily done.
