Removing Extra Spaces in Multi-Page Tables

I have just done a mail merge to create mailing labels in word from an excel spredsheet containing hundreds of entries (person's name, company, address, etc.).

Everything has worked nicely, and when I finished with the merge I was left with several pages of tables, each cell filled with a mailing label that will be printed out later onto stickers for mailing.

After the merge, I found that the finished document had many errors that needed to be manually corrected, so I went through all of the tables, fixing the problems in each cell.

After all of that work, I was told by my supervisor that some of the entries were to be removed from the mailing list. However, if I delete one entry (one cell of the table), I am left with a hole in the page. Since word has already merged the document, it doesn't fill itself back in. Is there any way to get word to correct this problem itself? To make it automatically fill in holes in the table?

Thanks a lot.

I think you'll find it much easier to edit the data source and rerun the
merge.
