I have a mail merge document with multiple fields one after the other. Not
all fields will have results. When there are no results, how do I keep
spaces from occuring where the field would have been?

Insert and If...then...Else field

{ IF { MERGEFIELD afieldthatmaybeblank } = "" "{ MERGEFIELD nextmergefield"}
"{ MERGEFIELD afieldthatmaybeblank } { MERGEFIELD nextmergefield }" }
