Hi,

I have some text boxes that requires conditionaly being visible or not. The problem I have got is underneath the text box there will be other ones I am designing a letter. so if the sentenace is not visible I will have a great big gap in the report.

The sentance is also a bullet point so there are lots of text boxes that are bullet point that are visible or not visible depening on conditions and I would like all the ones underneath to move up if one is hidden.

I also have lots of heading text that is bold above the bullet point. I am using seperate text boxes for each title and bullet point. Is this the best way to go around it. Cheers Rachel
 
You could put the alternatives in different sections, suppressing the whole section when necessary. Right-click on the detail section and choose Format Section. Then choose the formula icon (x+2 and a pencil) for suppression. Enter a formula.
