You can add characters after (or before) a non-blank field in a form letter or email using the following syntax at the start or end of the field name: “+nnn” where nnn is the 3 digit decimal ASCII code of the character you wish to add (see table below).

For example, {+044+032Matter.Inventor3+033} would add to the form “, John Smith!” if the matter has 3 inventors or “” (nothing) if it doesn’t. This lets you put spaces or new lines between fields in a form if they have data without adding spaces or blank lines if the fields don’t have data. This is useful if a field may or may not have data.

Another example could be displaying the matter client if a value exists, or show nothing if it does not exist. {+067+108+105+101+110+116+058+032Matter.Client+013} would display nothing if there is no value for client. But if there is a value, each 3-digit number represents a character to display based on the table below. For example +067+108+105+101+110+116+058+032 spells out Client: along with a space. The +013 after Matter.Client represents a carriage return.
