The following are properties specific to Rich Text objects:

• Lines: the text lines for the text to display. For data-bound objects, you should leave this alone since the value comes from the field.

• Null Value Text: the text to display if the field's value is null, such as "Unknown" or "Empty."

• Process Duplicates: what should happen if the value for the field in this record is the same as the one in the previous record. The choices are:

  • Leave: display the value.

  • Suppress: display a blank space instead of the value.

  • Suppress and Shrink: don't display the value and shrink the height of the object.

  • Merge based on Value: this isn't applicable for Rich Text objects.

  • Merge based on Tag: this isn't applicable for Rich Text objects.

• Process Null Values: what should happen if the value for the field in this record is null. The choices are:

  • Leave: display the value.

  • Suppress: display a blank space instead of the value.

  • Suppress and Shrink: don't display the value and shrink the height of the object.
