#### Suppress If Zero (Number tab)

The Suppress If Zero property prevents a value from printing if it is a zero value. The value does not print, but the space in which it would have printed remains. To remove the blank space, select the Suppress Blank Section check box in the Section Expert.

Note: This will only work if there are no other objects in the section.Use the Section Expert to eliminate blank lines in this situation, then clear the Suppress Blank Section check box for the section that the field is in. This will eliminate the lines as long as there are no other objects in the section.

#### Suppress (Common tab)

The Suppress property hides an object when you run the report. For example, it is common to apply this property to formulas that are needed to do some report calculations, but that you do not want to print when you run the report. When you select this property, the selected object does not print.

Note: You can click the Conditional Formula button for any of these properties and create a formula that will make the setting conditional on some event. See Working with conditional formatting.

To set these properties, select the object, then click Object Properties from the Supplementary toolbar to open the Format Editor dialog box. When the Format Editor appears, set the properties.
