Collapse Space of hidden fields in InfoPath form

Hi all,

I have serveral drop down list boxes all running beneath one another. They are hidden and have conditional formating to show when another 'main' selection box value matches.

When previewed each box shows in the same position, just beneath the main selection box, (which is great) when condition is true. but the space the hidden boxes take up doesn't collapse, so there is a big blank space where they are hidden, I have tried putting all the boxes in one table cell, didn't work. I have tried putting each box in a selection area, didn't work. Latest effort, and what I have now is, one selection area in one table cell, and all the boxes within that selection area. Still space doesn't collaspe. Is there a way I can collapse the field space/selection area. I'm sure this is a common problem, novice InfoPath guys like me come across.
Any help greatly appreciated.

This worked by having mulitple selections in one table cell, then having the conditional formattng on the section rather than the drop down text box.
Then drag botton of table up to meet top of first section. After doing this, all controls below the table cell that hold the sections will butt up to the bottom of the table, and space will collapse
