Dynamic Address Line

I want to create mailing labels.

 

If a recipient's name is too long, there is to be a line break and the subsequent lines to be moved
downwards.

 

Is this feasible in Bartender? When yes, how.

 

 

example:

 

normal:                                                                   line break:

 

firstname lastname                                                  firstname

                                                                                lastname

street

                                                                                street

city, postalcode

                                                                                city, postalcode

  I guess you use a left aligned paragraph text object and size the width according to your needs.  Normally you create multiple data sources for each part of the address, assuming you're connecting to a database, with the carriage returns (<CR>) as its own data source as a hard line terminator at the end of each line.  You probably also want to enable the "Suppress if previous data source empty" transform on these <CR> data sources, so that you don't end up with blank lines in parts of certain, shorter addresses.

  Thanks, I found the solution > Suppress if previous data source empty
