--- Comment #3 from Ted Lee <tmplee at gmail.com> ---
At one point I tried using hidden sections to suppress blank lines, as
suggested somewhere on-line, but as I recall I had trouble making it work. But
I did find that turning every line into a paragraph and then using hidden
paragraphs worked fine to suppress blank lines.  In the case of a line that had
no data fields (because it was in a label after the last record) I could not
use that to suppress the line (paragraph) containing just static data (such as
the comma between city and state) -- presumably because that label was never
actually processed.

Thinking about your response I did realize one way to accomplish what I want. 
Rather than putting static data (such as that comma between city and state) in
the master label, all I would need do is put a field for the comma in my
database, populating it with a comma in every record.  I'm not sure if that
would be easier than simply editing the last page of the label document before
printing it, but at least I wouldn't have to remember to do it!
