Placeholders within Fragments add line feeds before and after when the document is composed.

[David_Pearson]

I am having a formatting problem when inserting Placeholders in a Fragment.  When the letter is composed, Placeholders within Fragments have line feeds before and after them.  How can I prevent these line feeds?

Hi David,

I would first try deleting the instance of the placeholder from the fragment and reinserting it into the fragment using the Template Builders Insert Placeholder button. Sometimes newline characters do not get properly removed when moving a placeholder around. If that doesn't resolve your issue, I would contact your first line of service and they can take a better look into the issue.

Thank you,

David,
Just as an aside, make sure you have the Paragraph Marker revealed and I also recommend using Design Mode (in the Developer tab) to troubleshoot any problems with Fragments. It's very helpful.

To easily turn on or off the formatting marks, such as paragraph markers, hold CTRL+SHIFT and then tap 8 on the number row above the letters.

CTRL+SHIFT+8 toggles formatting marks on and off in Word and Outlook.
