Word for Windows merging blank lines

I want to print some labels or formletters with Word for Windows.

I'm getting the addresses from a data document.  There are two lines for
the address, but some (most) addresses don't use both lines.

How can I prevent a blank line from being printed for these empty fields?

(yes, I checked the manual, but found nothing)
(are there any great books on W4W?)
