Default Mergefield suppress if data field blank

Hello,

I have an Excel database file, and am merging into a Word document. I am
familiar with Word's merge process. However, I have a field in the database
called RADIO that is a 3-digit number, or the field may be blank. The Word
document displays the blank fields as a zero. I want them to be blank. I
have read previous posts about using switches within my mergefield, and they
kind of make sense, but none seem to be the right fix for my particular need.

Currently displayed in Word document: {Mergefield "Radio"}
I need this to only display text if not blank in database.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
