Empty Mail Merge Fields

[Meggan]

In the previous version of Word, there was an option for merge fields that
would just eliminate the field if it was blank in the source data. I am
doing a mail merge with the most recent version and cannot find that option.
I am merging data from Excel and most of the address have 3 lines, but a
couple have 4 lines. Before I would just enter merge fields for all 4 lines
and the addresses that had four lines would fill up all four lines and the
addresses with 3 lines would just be three lines. Now, if there is a line
without data, it shows up as a zero. How can I that line to disappear if
there is no data to fill it?

alternative connection method from Word to your data.
