Use nested IF fields that insert the data /and/ a paragraph mark if the
field is not blank, but insert nothing if the field is blank. Like this:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD field1 } ""
"{ MERGEFIELD field1 }
" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD field2 } ""
"{ MERGEFIELD field2 }
" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD field3 } ""
"{ MERGEFIELD field3 }
" "" }
etc. All the {} need to be the special field brace pairs that you can
insert using ctrl-F9

In Word XP, if some of the data fields have blanks (i.e. Address 1 but
Address 2 does not include anything), how do I configure the Mail Merge
