You are getting yourself tied in knots with the {} separators which mark
where the fields start and end. These are not true field boundaries as set
by CTRL+F9. They are typed from the keyboard and are used only to omit the
blank lines that would result from a missing field. They are used in pairs.
Where fields will not be missing, you can leave them out. The following
should do the trick.
{<PR_DISPLAY_NAME>
}{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>
}<PR_LOCALITY>, <PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE> <PR_POSTAL_CODE>
<PR_COUNTRY>
There is a potential for conflict with display name and company name -
you'll get both where display name and company name are the same.
I personally use
{<PR_GIVEN_NAME> <PR_SURNAME>
}{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{<PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS>}
