Dynamic table height for Printed PO Report

Question

I have created a RTF template for Printed Purchase Order report using Microsoft Word. The template has Header and Line information. I have two questions.
1) Lines are printed in Table format. I also print header level notes in Line Section.
If the header notes are blank, I want the line information (line #, Item Number, Description, quantity etc) to be moved to line1. How do I acheive this?
I want to dynamically adjust the Table height based on the information printing in the line section. The table has two rows. One for Header notes and one for Line information.
2) Header notes field is placed in Description column of Line Table (MS word). Currently Header notes are printing within the Description column as wrapped text. I want to print Header notes in one line. How do I expand this field to print in one line?
Thanks,

Hi,
Even I faced the same problem, however I have found a workaround to come out of this problem.
My PO design template has 16 lines, I am counting the number of lines with data and subtracting the same from 16 and inserting that many empty rows to increase the table height.
I am pasting the code so that it will be useful for others.
Paste this code before LINES_ROW for-each loop. This will give the number of lines present.
<xsl:variable name="_XDOFOTOTAL" select="count(.//LINES_ROW)"/>
Paste this code at the end of the for-each loop.
<!-- 16 is the maximum number of rows which fits in my page.-->
<xsl:variable name="_cnt" select="16-$_XDOFOTOTAL"/>
<xsl:call-template name="countdown">
<xsl:with-param name="countdown" select="16-$_XDOFOTOTAL"/>
</xsl:call-template>
This function you can put it at the end.
<xsl:template name="countdown">
<!-- Instead of for loop. -->
<xsl:param name="countdown"/>
     <xsl:if test="$countdown">
          <fo:table-row keep-together="always">
          <fo:table-cell/>
          <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell xdofo:use-attribute-sets="c_33 c_35">
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell xdofo:use-attribute-sets="c_33 c_35">
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block height="13.2pt"/>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell/>
          </fo:table-row>
          <!-- Call the template again -->
          <!-- The below code is like x=x-1 -->
          <xsl:call-template name="countdown">
               <xsl:with-param name="countdown" select="$countdown - 1"/>
          </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
If some one is having a better solution, please share.
