Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Supress address2 field if blank

All,

Thanks for the tips.  Some thoughts:
1. All of the workarounds are a mess and in no way are a substitute for
a feature (a simple check box to suppress blank fields) that MS Office
has had since 98.  Time to change this developers.
2. A even better link on the subject is:

Dave,
