I think it's very hard to manage that. I will see that when I will have time

Changed state: Accepted

dox4j has that option but unfortunately it doesn't handle few other stuff 
cleanly such a conditional formatting.

usually in most case report template is defined and than corresponding cvs or 
sql result set data are populated..not necessary that data will be there 
always.. I think it would be great feature to allow removing empty paragraphs 
and regions.

I agree with you, it should be cool if XDocReport provides this feature, but 
today I have no time to develop that-(

I am at decision point if where I have to decide a product which does our mail 
merge our existing word template around 300. I love everything about xdocreport 
it very nicely designed and developed. do you think the feature I am requesting 
is can be done in next month..

We do XDocReport in our spare time and today I'm very busy, and I cannot 
promise you that I could do that.
