I use a combination of an if field with the reference field as follows:

{Address1}
{if Address2 = ?* "Address2
"}{City} {State} {Zip}

By putting the paragraph mark inside the quotes, it won't show up if
the Address2 field is blank.  The if ... = ?* tests Address2 for any
text.  Note that if ... = * will be true for blank fields, but ? must
be an alphabetic or numeric - so ?* tests for anything that begins with
an alphabetic or numeric.

Hope this helps.
