Suppress printing of empty lines
Fields Street_Line2 and Street_Line3 may not contain data, therefore if they are empty
these lines should not be printed. To accommodate this condition, click the red X icon
(Remove Line if Empty) on the upper right of the dialog box. This will cause empty lines to
not be printed. Highlight the 2 fields then click the red X on the toolbar (see figure in the
sidebar) which results in the following:

Street_Line2 and Street_Line3 now have DEL inserted, indicating that the line will be
removed if it is empty.
Note the use of quotes to create blank spaces between fields when necessary.
Click OK, then the fields will be added to the selected band.
Drag the resulting field to the upper left of the Detail Band and resize it to accommodate
the fields. You may also need to resize the Detail Band.
The final output is shown below. Note that for each label, there are no blank spaces
between any of the lines.

Resizing fields
A field can be resized manually by selecting the
field, then dragging the handles of the box that
surrounds the field.
Or, you can avoid manual resizing by selecting
the “Autosize width” or “Autostretch height”
selections that appear on the “Edit” dialog for a
field.
