Closing space in Parts

[adario]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie and will be the first to admit I know nothing!

I've got a letter to INSTRUCTORS in which I have information about all STUDENT workers working for each instructor for a particular semester.

I finally figured out that I could use a sub-summary to list all the students and their info in the letter and put the closing of the letter in a Grand Trailing Part. However, there is a gap between the info in the Sub-Summary and Grand Trailing. I tried the sliding thing, but it only works with fields and not PARTS.

Is there a way to shrink the PART area?

Thanks for your help

Amy

There is an option when you select the fields to slide to also reduce the size of the part.

Hi John

TkU for replying. I tried using the slide feature and including PART, but it's still not sliding up and closing the gap.

My parts are

-- Header

-- Sub-Summary

-- Body

-- Trailing Grand Summary

The Body is empty. I tried puttingthe Trailing Grand Summary before BODY, but I couldn't get it to appear. If I move the closing of the letter into the BODY area it doesn't show in the PREVIEW.

tks

If the body part is empty, why don't you simply delete it from the layout?

Did you look at the sample file I posted yesterday to your other thread.

Hi John,

Deleted the Body, but there's still a big space. I'm going to have a look at your sample

I think so, but I couldn't find the info on closing parts other than using the "sliding" function.

Thanks much

That is the only way to shrink parts. Are you sure that your layout is correct? Are all items in the part and below set to sliding?

Headers, and Footers do not Slide, they remain their Layout Size.
