Default Catalog merge for tel directory

I am trying to create a telephone directory for my church using the
catalog merge feature in P2003. The data source is Excel. Is there a way
to suppress any fields under a person's name that do not contain data?

Thanks much.

Default Catalog merge for tel directory

In the print dialogue there is a check-off, "Don't print lines that contain only
empty fields."

I am trying to accomplish the same thing that ladyt is. While I do see the
checkbox you mentioned in the print dialogue for Mail Merge, I don't see how
to change that in Catalog Merge. Is it possible to do this with Catalog
Merge?
Thanks,
Melissa

The option is available in the print dialogue. When you are ready to print merge
there is a check-off.
