February 26, 200817 yr Hi all, There is a "description" field that may have a single line of text ... or 20 pages of text (it could be book chapters). I would like to have a report that expands or contracts in length; depending on the contents of this field. In form-view this field has a scroll-bar to access the rest of its content, but it will only print the visible text in the field box. Edited February 26, 200817 yr by Guest
February 26, 200817 yr I think that you are going to run into problems, bcs FM is not a layout package and isn't made for 20pp text blocks. Can they be somehow chopped up with calc fields? However, what you need is a dedicated layout for printing. Drag the body part as far as it will go (you'll hit a vertical limit). Then put the text block in the body part, resize it to just short of the body part. Select the text field and select Sliding/Printing and set the field to slide up and reduce the size of the part.
