Praveen,

You can acheive the reqruiement by creating and using templates in SmartForms....and assigning the values in Cells of the template.

For example: U have create the tempalte with one row and 5 cells then place the varibale in repective cells using the attributes of the template .

Such as JOHN--> J wil be in row 1 and cell 1, O in row 1 and cell 2 and so on.......

Regards..

this is not possible unless u know the lenght of the name ,

and other address fields.

Hi,

But the blocks will be limited in a page. you will be defining the template with those many boxes. Define those many vaiarables for the boxes.

Using string operatrions find the length of the vendor name

Using Do statement . populate the vairables accordingly.

Then in the template you will be defining text for each box. For the text node there will be condition tab where you set condition when vairable is not initial display.

So, it will display in only those boxes and remaining boxes will be empty.

can we achieve this requirement by creating only one text element for all boxes?
