Default How to skip printing a blank address line in mail merge

I can't find help for printing mixed 3 and 4-line addresses in mail merge. It
seems there should be a switch to place after the merge field name.

Conditional fields will work

{Mergefield Address1}{IF {Mergefield Address2} "" "
{Mergefield Address2}"}{IF {Mergefield Address3} "" "
{Mergefield Address3}"}{IF {Mergefield Address4} "" "
{Mergefield Address4}"}

Set the field boundaries {} with CTRL+F9 and substiture the names of your
address line fields.

Use and If...then...Else field

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Address2 } = "" "{ MERGEFIELD Address3 }" "{ MERGEFIELD
Address2 }x
{ MERGEFIELD Address3 }" }

use Shift+Enter to insert a line break in place of the x in the above. You
must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters {}
