How to suppress the blank lines while mering fields in Word docume

[CoolVBA]

I'm using a Word OCX control to display document, and need toggle the
document display between merged and unmerged status, the VBA code seems as
below:

.mailmerge.opendatasourece(...)
.mailmerge.suppressblanklines = true

if ...
.mailmerge.viewmergefieldcodes = true
else
.mailmerge.viewmergefieldcodes = false
end if

After the above scripts run, I found the blank lines were never been
suppressed while empty fields existed, I know the .Execute() method can
suppress the blank lines, but it will permanently convert the doucment, it's
not what I wanted.

You would need to use an If...then...Else construction in the mail merge
main document to test for data in the fields to achieve what you are after.

Thanks much!

My case is that a text file is used as the data source which is exported by
program, and users can insert any merge fileds into a Word document. So, it
seems too diffcuilt to manage all the Next Merge Fields while the If
....then...Else construction used...
