eliminate trailing spaces in a mail merge field

How can I eliminate trailing spaces on an individual merge field?
The mail merge data source is directly from a mainframe-generated header-ed
semi-colon delimited .txt file (Excel/Access not an option) where the fields
are all a fixed-length, but the values are not always the maximum field
length.
(text qualifiers such as " are not used). I want to eliminate these spaces
in the letter text.
Ex. CALL TIME field on the data source has a physical length of 20
positions, but may have the values DURING THE DAY or AT NIGHT
