I've got 2 SSRS report issues (using MS Visual Studio 2008) that I can't figure out how to suppress:

1. When printing the contents of one of the text fields, in addition to the text, I also get - the formatting characters (I call it gobbledegook) - thinks like <p><div style='margin: ... yadda yadda - how do you tell it to only print text?

2. Using the "allow field to grow" function, it adds about 2 or 3 inches of white space (no text) - any ideas how to remedy that?

Thanks

1. you need to apply pattern logic to parse and remove the characters before it reaches report in query behind

2. does the source field has spaces in data? first check that and trim if present
