I use a combination of an if field with the reference field as follows:
{Address1}
{if Address2 = ?* "Address2
"}{City} {State} {Zip}
By putting the paragraph mark inside the quotes, it won't show up if
the Address2 field is blank. The if ... = ?* tests Address2 for any
text. Note that if ... = * will be true for blank fields, but ? must
be an alphabetic or numeric - so ?* tests for anything that begins with
an alphabetic or numeric.
Hope this helps.
