Default Problems with IF statement

Hello,

I am attempting to cater for a blank address2 in a mail merge. I have
written the following expression:

{ MERGEFIELD Title } { MERGEFIELD FristName } { MERGEFIELD LastName }
{ MERGEFIELD Addr1 }
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Addr2 } = "" "" "{ MERGEFIELD Addr2 }
" }{ MERGEFIELD City } { MERGEFIELD State } { MERGEFIELD Postcode }


The intention is to enter Addr2 and a carriage return if Addr2 is not blank.
I have two problems with this at the moment:
1. The carriage return is not working
2. If the text for Addr2 is "Level 21" only 21 is being displayed.

I have included the spaces in the IF statement as it appears in my doc. Can
someone point out where I have gone wrong? I am using Word 2003

Thanks in advance
