When using the Address Block function in label MailMerge Wizard, the labels
have blank lines where there is no info on that line in that data source
record. In past versions that I was more familiar with, I've been able to
compress (skip) blank lines in address labels so that they didn't appear on
the final document. How do I do this?

Don't use the address block. Instead, use the individual merge fields.

As Anne suggests, do not use the address block. To skip the blank lines you
may have to insert conditional fields
eg
{Mergefield Address1}{If {Mergefield Address 2} "" "
{Mergefield Address2}"}{If {Mergefield Address 3} "" "
{Mergefield Address3}"} etc
