I have a report that has 20 textboxes with labels.  Not all textboxes have
data.  I set the "can shrink" to "yes" and it supresses the textboxes but I
still see the labels.  

How do I supress the labels?

If your report uses labels that are connected to "their" textboxes, a
shrinking textbox shrinks the label, too, if I recall correctly.

Are all your labels connected (i.e., "owned" by their respective textboxes)?

The textboxes do shrink, but the labels don't.

My report is like this and I want each project to have its own section, not
in a spreadsheet format.

Project Name: ITS Equipment
Project Description: Install equipment along I-20
Date Bid:
Date Accepted
Contract Amount: $1,000.00
Expenditures to Date: $500.00

I didn't notice whether you had confirmed that the textboxes "owned" their
labels.  If they don't, the labels wouldn't know to shrink.

I couldn't tell from your example how a "project" (?ITS Equipment) would
have a section.

Have you used the Sorting/Grouping button on the Toolbar to set sections?
