public bool RemoveEmptyParagraphs { get; set; }Property Value
Remarks
Only paragraphs that became empty because every merge field in them merged to nothing. A paragraph that was already empty in the template was put there on purpose and stays, and so does one that holds literal text beside the field.
This is Word's SuppressBlankLines, which is on by default. Measured: a paragraph
holding only an empty «MiddleName» disappears from Word's merged output, while a
paragraph reading mid=«MiddleName» survives as mid=. An address block with
an optional second line is the case this exists for.
