Reducing white space when a field is suppressed

190 Views

Hi,

I have two fields in my detail section that are sometimes blank, sometimes several lines long. I've checked the "Can Grow" box. Both fields are as wide as is allowed. How can I address this?

If I reserve a lot of white space for each field in anticipation of the possibility of a lengthy field value, it ends up being a complete waste, especially since this field is usually blank, or contains a small, one-line value.

If I don't reserve a lot of white space, the field value can overlap with fields below it in the report.

If the field has no value, it ends up being a waste of space.

Is there a way to trim the white space?

Thank you
