Autoformatting fields in a report

iBasho
16
I am working on a report template. The database associated with the report has many text fields (sentences/non-numerical). The text fields are not populated early in the year, but they are populated later in the year. I was wondering if there was a way to put all of the fields into the report, but only display them if the have words in them. This would allow me to write only one report and eliminate excessive blank space in the report. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Try using the Can Grow and Can Shrink properties of the textboxes.
