"Place holders"

[JKeef]

I am trying to create a template for people to use on their own. A canned
letter where in certain spots the user needs to enter information. How do I
create place holders where if they are not filled in, my place holders will
not print. Not a mail merge. Just a fill in the blanks. For example: <<enter
contact email address>>. If they don't have one to enter- it will apprear
blank when printed.
Reason: if they forget to delete my "place holder" it will show on the
letter and look unprofessional.
Thanks
