Merge Fields don't expand

[sawindel]

Ok, I want to insert a merge field <<Notes>> into a layout. I thought that the concept of a merge field was that it would expand to fit the amount of text in the field, that doesn't happen. The merge field stays the same size regardless of the amount of text in it?

Any ideas if I am doing something wrong, or do I have the wrong idea on how/what a merge field can do.

thanks for the help

Oddly enough they don't expand. You will have to stretch the size of the text block so that it's big enough to handle whatever you may put into it.

Thanks -- at least I know that I'm not doing something wrong.

Look into Sliding/Printing to see how to shrink-up the unused layout space.
