Default How to eliminate blank lines on a report?

I have a report that is used for creating and printing labels. The report
pulls info from 1 table and lists the field info on a report - 1 record for
each label. The fields that are being displayed are for example, First Name,
Last Name, Email and Phone. Every one of the recipients have a first and last
name and phone, but not all have an email address. How would I eliniate the
blank line produced by a null value in a recipients email address so that it
doesn't make my label look like it is missing something. I thought it was can
shrink or something like that, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Try and set the Can grow property of the field and the section where the
field is located in to Yes.

For the Detail section of the label, set:
Can Grow = No
Can Shrink = No

For the top line (text box), set:
Can Grow = No
Can Shrink = No

For all but the top line (text box), set:
Can Grow = No
Can Shrink = Yes
