Editing merged Word 2013 data before mail merging through Outlook

[Masque42]

Trying to merge data for a bulk email from Access through Word into Outlook. Each email includes a table where each row lists a date from a merge field. Some tables are 1 row long and some tables are 70 rows long.

Client 1
MergeDate1
MergeDate2

Client 2
MergeDate1
MergeDate2
MergeDate3
MergeDate4



Client 1's table is 2 rows long, Client 2's table is 4 rows long. I have found macros that will strip the blank rows after the merge has been done, but I can't find a place to run that macro before it dumps into Outlook and starts sending. The only way I've found is to drop into preview mode and run the macro individually on *every one* of the 400+ emails before sending to Outlook - yuck.

I was hoping to maybe do this back-to-front and have creating a new row in the table depend on whether or not the next field in the list is blank, but the various forums I've poked through seem to believe this is impossible.

I know I'm probably making this much harder than it is, but I've got no formal training and just have to pick everything up as I go along.

Many thanks from the Rookie!
