Surpress Blank Lines ?? 1

CR8.5
WINDOWS XP

Hey guys is there anyway to surpress blank lines when printing out a record with a field in it that contains a long description? Some of the records in the database have fields with data that span 3 lines and some that span 10. My goal was to create a report that saved as many trees as possible. If anyone has any ideas I'll buy ya a beer!

thanks,
Matt

what version of CR?

Set the width of the field you want (set height as 1 line)
Right Click
Format Field
Check "Can Grow"

this should auto-grow the field to it's size (and not have all of them the same height)

thanks CMV, I am using CR8.5 on windows XP. I was searching for a solution to minimize the white space and I like your idea.
