    Can you expand the details section based on the size of a field

    I am creating a Crytal Report that will show write-off activity for a particular period of time.  One of the fields we want to include is write-off notes.  In a couple of cases the write-off notes are quite long.  I know how to make the details section larger by dragging down the bottom edge of the section, but then I end up with a lot of white space where the notes are not as long.  Is there a way to have the row size vary from line to line based on the number of characters in a field?

    Hi Robin, If you right click on the field, you will be able to choose the option to format the field and check the option Can Grow. This option allows the field to grow based on its content. I hope you find this helpful, Naomi

     Thanks so much, Naomi.  That's exactly what I needed to know.
