Crystal Reports field suppression

Hi all - in my report, the details section can show up to 8 fields. The fields are aligned atop each other, like so:

field1
field2
field3
field4
field5
field6
field7
field8

I suppress the fields if they are null. The problem is that the report appears very disorganized and has too much white space. I need to be able to modify the positions of the fields so that they appear consecutively. Example: if fields 2 and 5 are suppressed, I want the report's details section to show like this:

field1
field3
field4
field6
field7
field8

but instead it comes out like this:

field1

field3
field4

field6
field7
field8

and the spaces make it look horrible! How to fix this?

Never mind! I got it...I did it by dividing the details section into 8 parts. Then I placed each field into its a separate subsection and set the "Suppress blank section" to true.
