MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2006Extra Spaces Between Optional Sections
I have created many Infopath forms with multiple optional sections on them. Each section is directly below the previous one, yet when I preview the form or fill it out and print it, I get extra spaces between some of the sections. This didn't start happening until recently, and I can't figure out what is causing it. I have tried everything I can thing of to get rid of the extra spaces, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sandy, Have you tried laying your optional sections out in a table this way they should not attempt to create any extra space between them. Hope this helps Cheers Ben > I have created many Infopath forms with multiple optional sections on them. > Each section is directly below the previous one, yet when I preview the form > or fill it out and print it, I get extra spaces between some of the sections. > This didn't start happening until recently, and I can't figure out what is > causing it.

I just tried it, but I still get the same result. I didn't mention it before, but each of my optional sections contains a repeating section. The extra space, when it occurs, appears between the bottom of my repeating section and the "Insert item" line. I have compared properties on all the optional and repeating sections which appear correctly with the ones which have extra spaces, and they are identical. They also look identical until I switch to preview mode. > Sandy, > Have you tried laying your optional sections out in a table this way they [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > causing it.

By default, sections have padding and margins and a 1pt white border associated with them. You need to remove the border and set each of the padding and margin values to 0. The margins and padding are in the section properties dialog box.

Unfortunately, this did not change the situation. Thanks anyway. > By default, sections have padding and margins and a 1pt white border associated with them.

Hi, If you have some button or table inner that you have hide with conditionnal formating infopath keep the height of this two element! Hope this help I finally stumbled onto the solution to my problem, though I still don't know what caused it. If I go to the bottom of my repeating section and click Delete, my extra spaces disappear in Preview mode. The strange thing is that when I click Delete, nothing changes in Design view because nothing is there to delete. The fact that these forms used to lack the extra spaces and I have done nothing to them since then, and the fact that all of my 50 plus forms now have this new problem reinforces my belief that I did not cause this to happen. I wonder if the latest updates could have something to do with this? Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. If anyone figures out what causes this problem, please let me know. Thanks again. > Hi, > > If you have some button or table inner that you have hide with > conditionnal formating infopath keep the height of this two element! > > Hope this help |
