Default Extra Blank Pages in Mail Merge Documents

I am working with If ... Then ... Else statements in my form letter mail
merge. If there are multiple addressees, then I need multiple letters. If
not, then I only need one.

Example: {IF \* MERGEFORMAT «S2» "" "

and after the last " I've used a page break and the text from the form
letter.

The problem is that I get a blank page when there is no second addressee.
How do I make the form letter stop at the first letter if there is no 2nd
address?

Let's put your syntax right and see what happens?

{IF{Mergefield S2} "" "Put your page break and letter here between the
quotes"}

Brackets here are all inserted with CTRL+F9
