BI Publisher for word: For each group spacing issue

Question

Summary BI Publisher for word: For each group spacing issue Content I am using the For-each group property for a report with if conditions for each paragraph and it seems that whenever I print out to pdf that there is a bunch of white space between each paragraph. The goal is to eliminate the white space and have the paragraphs print the next line. I've tried editing the Word properties, putting it in a table and nothing has made a difference. I'm leaning on the idea that this is a BI pub issue with xsl and was wondering if there are any way to do this or at least some alternatives to eliminate as much white space as possible. This is what i have now on the report. Note the outlining of the table. for-each Health Insurance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for-each Dental Insurance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ensure all your report code ie anything contained in is inside a gray formfield.As someone wlse has mentioned you can use simple if statements rather than a choose to speed up the report. You would have something like Health Insurance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dental Insurance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Put each command in a formfield and have them on the same line. At runtime the formatter will collapse the lines with formfields in them. Tim

Why you are using multiple choose conditions ? you can use simple if conditions after and before for each group. https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/conditional-templates

Hi,

Have you tried to toggle the "Show or hide formatting marks" ON/OFF on you .rtf file? This way you can turn on or off some or all formatting symbols and marks.

Delete all useless formatting marks if applicable, example: the pilcrow sign (¶) indicates that it will skip to next line, if you have many for no reason, try removing them and test again.

Regards,

Youssef
