Default Auto Number after mail merge

I have a Word document that has a numbered list already existing in it. The
first two items in the list will always be there, but items 4-8 may or may
not be depending on data pulled from an Access database.

The database is set up with a checkbox for each of the 5 items that are
variable. In the Word document, I would like it to use the numbered list
only for those that are checked.

The problem I am having is that the lines where no text is being pulled in
are still being numbered which makes sense because a field has still been
placed there, it just doesn't have any data to show.

I have tried using the SKIPIF as well as IF THEN ELSE to have it only pull
the text if it exists, but am still not able to get the numbers to disappear.
I have also tried inserting the numbers with SEQ and LISTNUM instead of the
regular numbered list option, but am still not able to get the line of text
to go away.

Hopefully I am explaining this without being too confusing. Is this
possible?

Thank you in advance for any help.
