Default Extra pages in a mail merge

I have a mail merge packet for lack of a better term. It is a list of
documents that i use to deal with individual cases. Every packet will include
certain forms and then based on the case extra forms are added with an if
statement.
{If {MERGEFIELD Extraneous}= "True" {INCLUDE TEXT "lists a file name"}}

This works fine. Problem is that if Extraneous is not "True" all i get is a
blank page that's printed at the printer. I've fooled around with this and
can't get it to work and be formatted correctly without placing the if
statement on a seperate page. How do i either put all if statements on the
same page and get them to print as sepreate docs or delete the blank pages
when they print?

Use

{If {MERGEFIELD Extraneous}= "True" "[Ctrl+Enter]{INCLUDE TEXT "lists a file
name"}" }

and in place of [Ctrl+Enter] press Ctrl+Enter
