You could do this easily in Word 2000.

The Word 2000 Merge command is available in XP so try using that.

Select Tools Customize Commands (tab)
Under Categories (on the left), Select All Commands
Scroll down Commands (on the right) and select MailMerge
Click and Drag it to somewhere useful - The Mail Merge Toolbar, perhaps
It will show up as a button with the legend Merge...
Close the Customize Dialog

Instead of using the awkward Task Pane, Click the Merge button to do the
merge.
The Dialog will give the option (actually the default) to "Don't print blank
line when data fields are empty"
Just make sure the option you want is checked and press Merge.

Please help. I am trying to import/mail merge data from Acess 2002 to MS
Word 2002. The data forms 3 colums of merge fields like so:

Name Number Letter
Name1 Number1 Letter1
Name2 Number2 Letter2

(etc, etc) What I would like to do (I have the fields through Name10,
etc)
is only have the merge print the fields that have data in them and supress
any blank lines. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Di
