I have completed a merge, but upon viewing the results, have empty spaces
where I had inserted fields.

All fields do not apply to all people receiving the letter. Example; one
client has one spouse and three kids (Dear Maggie, Michael, Jorge and John
but another has no spouse, one kid Dear John . How can I get these
extra spaces to not appear where the spouses or kids names would have been
for the other client?

I thought I knew how to use merge, but I am SO confused....

You need to use an If...then...Else field construction.

If you look through the responses to some of the previous posts in this
newsgroup, you will find many examples.
