Default Mail Merge - Directory

In mail merge doc, how can I ask to skip a field if it is blank? I am setting
up a mail merge for a member directory where some people have 5 phone numbers
and others do not. I want a field to be skipped if it is blank in order to
keep all information together without spaces within the record.

Default Mail Merge - Directory

Use an If...then...Else... field construction.

Hope this helps.
