Hi, it seems that after the word 'zuruck' you put these two characters: backslash-n-backslash-r. I think that the backslashes are not shown in your post because of forum-related issues but you meant them to be there. So I think the problem is: 1) The word 'zuruck' reaches the end of its line 2) JasperReports concludes that there is no room in that line so the next word has to be in the next line (just as Microsoft Word does). 3) The next word is backslash-n-backslash-r (a line break), so in the line after the one with 'zuruck' JasperReports writes a line break 4) As a result, a blank line is added I'm just theorizing, by the way, so make some tests to confirm.
