Field position dependent of other field content
Is there a way to have for example four fields (filled by a VB.NET program) below each other and make the position of the second, third and fourth field dependent of the size of the first field?

Is this the kind of thing you are looking for?
Set each field as a separate sub-string within a Normal Wrapped text field. All the three fields shown in my sample below are embedded strings but these can all have different data source types as required.
You could add a Suffix <CR> to each of the first 3 lines although in the image below I have set the <CR> as a separate string and then included the conditional printing option as shown so if field 1 is empty field 2 would move to the top of the paragraph.

That could be a solution, but I want to add several RTF fields with a fixed line in between the fields.
In the meantime, I played around with document scripts in BarTender. I'm using the OnNewRecord event, that seems to work in BarTender.
Format.NamedSubstrings("BTVarH").value=Format.Objects("BTT1").Height
Format.NamedSubstrings("BTVarPos").value=Format.Objects("BTT1").Yformat.objects("BTT2").Y = Format.Objects("BTT1").Y + Format.Objects("BTT1").Height + 0.25
msgbox(Format.Objects("BTT1").Y & " " & Format.Objects("BTT1").Height & " " & format.objects("BTT2").Y)But if I fill the fields from VB.NET and print the doc, the script isn't triggered. Is there a way to trigger the script (anywhere) from the VB.NET program?

I have not had a need to work a lot with RTF fields to be honest and normally just use normal text fields but I am not sure you can address RTF fields like that in BarTender itself whilst normal text fields you can
