Blank Records in Catalog Merge

[mstgt91]

I am printing a directory with the following information:

Name
Child's Name
Phone Number
Address

The records that do not have an entry under "Child's Name" are coming out
like this:

Name

Phone Number
Address

(...with a blank space where the "Child's Name" field would be.)

Even worse (and more confusing when reading the final document) is when the
record has neither a "Child's Name" entry nor a "Phone Number" entry, and you
get this:

Name


Address

Basically, I want it to ignore the line if there is no data in the field.

According to the help information I've found, I can filter out the records
that do not have an entry. However, this removes that record entirely from
my publication (unless I'm doing it wrong!). I need to be able to print all
of the records, alphabetical order by the "Name" field, regardless of whether
they have an entry in the "Child's Name" or "Phone Number" fields (and
without the gaps).

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance!
