If you used to use an earlier version of Word and its blank line suppression
feature,
a. it is enabled by default in Word 2002
b. if necessary, you can enable it using the old Mailmerge Helper dialog -
Tools|Cutomize|Commands, select Category "All Commands", locate
MailMergeHelper in the list of commands and drag it to a toolbar, then use
it.
c. unfortunately, Word 2002 differs from earlier Words as it does not
suppress blank lines when they are nested inside other fields such as IF or
INCLUDETEXT.

Otherwise, what fields are you using to insert your address? If you are
using an ADDRESSBLOCK field, try using the individual name/street/ etc.
fields instead.
