Default Deleting introductory text for missing data

I'm printing a directory of sorts. I've got spaces for cell phone number,
work number and home number. Each field is preceeded by "Cell: c_data ",
"Home: h_data", "Work: w_data".

Some people don't have all three phone numbers. How do I not list the
introductory text if there is no data in the field?

Thanks.

Default Deleting introductory text for missing data

Use If...then...Else fields. For example for the Cell phone number, use

{ IF { MERGEFIELD c_data } "" "Cell: { MERGEFIELD c_data }" }

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { } and you use
Alt+F9 to toggle off their display.
