MICROSOFT WORD - FIXING GAPS IN AUTOCREATED DOCUEMENTS ( WORD, PHP, MYSQL, APACHE )

We have a HTML 5 / PHP based system that works across a network within an office. This system creates all orders and invoices, it does this by using templates made in Microsoft Word and populating the information within the template with $variables. The information is taken from that a MYSQL database. At this time we have an issue where the finished documents have gaps in them, this is because not all $variables or cells in the database have information in them. For example: a client may have a company name but no building number or A town but no province or county. Therefore, our documents are created with gaps and we need the spaces of the gaps to be removed if a $variable is empty. We have tried to resolve this issue before, we had a developer try two different solutions but so far nothing has worked. One of things the previous developer tried was creating blocks that surround the $variables that collapse if they are empty but it does not work. We are now looking for an expert in Microsoft Word to finally solve this issue for us, this solution needs to work across multiple templates and there are about 10 different templates. Please see attached files for examples. Skills required Microsoft Word, PHP, MYSQL and Apache
