SLIDING OBJECTS? REMOVING BLANKS????

[harpo]

HI,

I am using filemaker pro 6 and what i am working with is a database of ppl who i want to mail letters to, everyone has different sorts of addresses some are long or short. Some ppl have one line in there address & others require more space, what i want is to get rid of all the blank spaces so when i print out the letters there arent all these huge gaps, i really need a step by step here, because i tried the sliding objects and i cant seem to get it to reduce the blank spaces so its more compact, can anyone help me? i would be so greatful....Thanks!!!!

Do a search for sliding. There are numerous related threads.

Sliding generally does work quite well, but there are a few things that can occasionally cause problems.

Make sure that ALL of the applicable items have been selected to shrink/slide.

Often there will be some forgotten item on the layout that is preventing things from sliding. If you can't see anything, do a select all and see if some invisible things suddenly become highlighted. Also have a look off to the right side of the layout beyond the printable area. Things in this area will affect sliding as well.
