You can consider the multiple imputation suite but I'll just throw out the disclosure that learning MI is not a simple undertaking. I've done probably a half dozen substantial missing data analyses and none of them have ever gone smoothly. You need to know quite a bit of theory and still make many judgment calls. I would start by looking at the MI manual, which has some nice discussion, and working the examples. Also download the -midiagplots- diagnostic suite. There are some other "how to do" MI papers around, too.
