Variable formatting

I'm working on quite a simple report--donors and their multiple gifts over
time. The header, associated with last name and ID, has the name and
location information. Then they also want a notes field displayed, which is
of variable length, followed by detail lines for individual gifts.

It'd save a good many pages on this report, over time, if I could use one
header format for individuals for which the notes field is populated, and
another one (leaving out the space for the notes field) for which it is not
formatted.

Can anyone give me some clues about how to manage this? I suspect I am
thinking about it the wrong way around.
