Default Creating Conditional Paragraph Breaks With Mail Merge

Hi all,

I'm putting together a mail merged document and am having a slight problem
when it comes to paragraph breaks.

Basically, a number of entrants need a few paragraphs on the letter. Getting
the text in is no problem at all (it's in the spreadsheet that is feeding the
merge). However, when a person who does not need the extra paragraphs in is
brought up Word leaves the paragraph breaks in, which leaves ugly big spaces
in between the information.

Can anyone suggest a means of adding paragraph breaks on the document,
without actually 'hard coding' it in the Word document. I'm thinking possibly
some code in the merge tags themselves.

Any help appreciated!
