Or one could use a FILLIN field in conjunction with a SKIPIF field. Such a field might be coded as:
{SKIPIF{FILLIN "Student Name" \o }<> "{MERGEFIELD First_Name} {MERGEFIELD Last_Name}"}
where 'First_Name' and Last_Name are the names of the fields holding the student names.
Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues. The indicated spaces in the field construction are all required.
