I am creating a word document with multiple test criteria and am wondering how I would remove a space if the data is not shown. Here is my code-
1.{IF{mergefield cst_ela}="proficient""english cst: proficient"""}
2.{IF{mergefield cst_elb}="proficient""history cst: proficient"""}
3.{IF{mergefield cst_elc}="proficient""math cst: proficient"""}
4.{IF{mergefield cst_eld}="proficient""science cst: proficient"""}
The leading numbers are just for show here. So if 1 is true it shows up but if 2 is not true its blank and 3 could be true as well so the letter will have a blank line between 1 and 3. Is there a way to tell it if 2 is blank remove space?I hope this makes sense, any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you were to list them out ie -
{IF{mergefield cst_ela}="proficient""english cst: proficient"""}{IF{mergefield cst_elb}="proficient""history cst: proficient"""}
rather than placing a lin between the actual code.. would this solve your problem?
