Sounds like you are trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key
field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do:
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

OK, I'm getting somewhere - I think.
The following adds the text "Tel:" and the phone number for records with a
phone number, but I can only check this by manually going to the next
record
in the Preview group on the ribbon. Despite the Next Record it will
only
insert a single entry, not the whole database.
Surname: HisName [CR]
{IF {MERGEFIELD TEL}"" "Tel:" ""}Tel [CR]
Next Record
