Default Mail merge showing blank lines/computer freezing

You will need to deal with the case where the field is blank, that your
field construction is not doing to properly handle that case.

I'm working on a large report/merge. I've had to add some format switches
and If/Then statements to the field codes. First problem is that computer
freezes frequently when switching to view the merge. Second problem is
that
on my second line the code is basically(IF (MERGEFIELD fieldname)""
"text
to enter if not blank"). If that field is blank, it leaves a blank line,
yet
doesn't do this for my other lines of field code that are virtually
identical. Any ideas?
