Default omit blank mail merge fields

Mail merge in Word used to automatically omit printing anything (a space or
extra line) if a data field from Excel was blank. Now with the updated
versions of Word, it seems to print a blank space or line. Is this an
"improvement?" I'm trying to figure out how to have the computer/program
automatically omit this again. Any ideas besides something complicated or
unnecessarily difficult? An answer about a easily found checkbox would be
sufficient, not information about tricking Word into doing it the "old way"
by adding old toolbars, etc. And why doesn't Word provide this automatic
feature anymore? Is it becoming less user-friendly?
