Is there a way to indent within a text box and still have blank lines suppressed?
 
I am creating a report that will generate a letter in the following format.
 
Dear Sir/Madam,
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    
         Contact
         Addr 1
         Addr 2
         Addr 3
         City, State Zip
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
 I have created a text box to contain the verbage and have dropped in the contact name and address fields.  In the format editor for the text box I have checked Suppress Embedded Field Blank Lines because all 3 address lines may not be populated.
 
If I tab or space over within the text box the blank lines are not suppressed.  If I keep everything left justified they are.  Is there a way to indent within the text box and have blank lines suppressed?

Why not make 3 text boxes. Place each on it's own section. All set to grow. You can then make you contact text box on section B indented but the text inside the box would not be indented.
//Section a text box left justified
Dear Sir/Madam,
 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
//Section B text box indented   
         Contact
         Addr 1
         Addr 2
         Addr 3
         City, State Zip
 //Section C text box left justified
