When you open a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 5.1 print merge document in Word, and the document contains IF and ENDIF fields, a blank line appears in place of the IF fields.

RESOLUTION
View the conditional IF fields by showing field codes. To display field codes, press ALT+F9 to turn them on and off.
