Fields preventing "####" or "---"

I imagine this has been asked and answered before, I am just not searching adequately. So I apologize in advance.

 

In my titleblock attribute block I have several links to the SheetSet, Project data, etc. Most of the fields are filled in with data and have no problems. I have some of the attribute in there to be ready for future useage. Such as Delta number and Delta description. I want to linnk the Delta and description to a detail in the Project Details. So I create a field and link it to the appropriate Project information. Redfine the block... Then I get the "---" or the "####".

 

How do I prevent this from Displaying when there is no info in the appropriate place. I want it there for future in the project, and dont want to delete it.

 

Ideas? Help.

 

Thank you.

Enter %% (two percent signs) as the value for the Project Detail items that you want to show as blank.  Credit for this goes to Jimmy Bergmark, in this article from his blog.

"%%".. interesting. I've been using the <alt> 160 method for years, but I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks!
