If you are using an automatic bulleted style, put the conditional field at the end of the previous bulleted line, after the paragraph break e.g.

end of bulleted line¶
{ IF { MERGEFIELD fieldname } <> "" then "¶
{ MERGEFIELD fieldname }" }¶
Next bulleted line .....¶

where ¶ indicated a paragraph break entered from the keyboard by pressing the enter key. Then format the paragraph break at the end of the bulleted line before the conditional field as hidden.
