Label Neighboring Adjacent Data Driven Pages

I have downloaded and used the arcpy.mapping Calculate Adjacent Fields script to calculate the adjacent neighboring pages for my page index.  On my layout, I have inserted dynamic text that labels the neighboring adjacent pages.  However, on pages that do not have an adjacent neighbor, the dynamic text that is returned back is "[empty]".  How can I change the value that is returned to not show any text at all?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I just needed to look more under ArcGIS 10 help: Using dynamic text with Data Driven Pages.

For those that are interested, here is the help page:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Working_with_dynamic_text/00s900000013...

Scroll down to the  "Neighbor or Adjacent Page" section near the bottom of the topic.

I have attached a word document with a brief tutorial to create adjacent map labels for data driven pages by simply using polygon boundary labeling and a few other tricks to get a nice result without going through the hassle of having to add additional fields to your index grid.

If the tutorial isn't clear enough, let me know.
