Is there any way of reducing the whitespace between the field names and field values in the contact card display? It's like the values are left justified against the longest field name. If I have to design a custom form, any suggestions? Contact cards have a lot of IsBlank don't display type info.

That looks like the card view - it is based onm the length of the field names. You can remove the longer field names from the view, starting with company main phone and business home page fields - most people don't use those fields anyway.

I believe this is about as cloase as they will get -

I removed file as and put full name at the top - it might be a little closer, but not necessarily the best view. Full name on top, file as below is better IMHO.

Adding file as to the card keeps it small too -

Thanks Diane. I think there's a ghost in my machine. I started the computer up today and now all the cards are displayed as I would like them but I didn't do anything!! Even the label field that is too long for the space (Business Home Page) gets truncated. Spooky. "Hey CoPilot, let me know the next time you change something." "I am sorry Dave, I cannot do that."

It's hard to say = but sounds like a bug or weirdness in the view. It's possible an update was pushed out overnight (easily if it's been a problem for a while), but it's more likely it was just some weirdness that cleared with a reboot (especially if the problem just started).
